This study assesses a museum building through the analyses of visitors’ activities and spatial configuration. Visitors’ exploration routes were acquired by questionnaire survey and distribution were acquired by snap-shot survey in National Museum of Nature and Science. Four indices for assessing the performance of spatial configuration: visit rate, multiple visit rate, visitors’ density, duration of stay, were defined and calculated. Also, the relation with spatial configuration were statistically analyzed by using four space syntax indices: integration, connectivity, choice and depth from entrance. Through the analyses, configuration of exhibition spaces were assessed and discussed in terms of visitors’ activities.
