Abstract

Museology is one of the effective ways to transfer the past to the present. Although museum activities always maintain their importance, they have been transformed with the development of technology and the change in consumer demands. Therefore, the development and spread of the internet has also affected museums. In our age, people's need for internet in every sense has brought along the transfer of museum environments to the internet as virtual museums. Virtual museums are museums that both promote and exhibit with the possibilities of the internet environment. Exhibitions or promotions in virtual museums are made through interface designs in order to provide visual communication to the visitors. In this context, the interface designs of virtual museums should be planned in a way that allows visitors to navigate easily, in a way that is easy, interesting and within the framework of design principles. Especially recently, with the effect of the pandemic, the interest in virtual museums has increased compared to physical museums. For this reason, it has become a necessity for all museums to give importance to technological infrastructure in order to ensure their awareness on the internet. These technological infrastructures should be handled in line with design principles. The Istanbul Toy Museum, which is covered within the scope of the research, is important for children and the toy heritage in our culture. The aim of the study is to reveal the importance of the toy museum and to examine web interface design in the context of visual communication design principles. In the research, scanning model was used and content analysis method was used. The use of the toy museum website in terms of virtual travel, its design, and the information on the site were examined. In this context, in this study, the museum activities of the Istanbul Toy Museum in the internet environment were revealed by examining the web interface design within the framework of visual communication design. According to the findings, it has been observed that the principles of visual communication design make a positive contribution to the museum website interface in terms of both promotion and information. As a result, museums should benefit from new technologies and visual communication design products.
