The design of museums has significantly evolved over the years, from simple exhibitions of artifacts to immersive andinteractive experiences. This paper explores the pivotal role of architectural phenomenology in shaping visitor’sexperience in museum design. We aim to achieve this goal by adopting a qualitative research approach of the BahrainNational Museum. The museum is an excellent example of how architectural phenomenology can cater to creating aspace that has meaning beyond its physical dimensions. By analyzing the museum's design elements, we identify keycontributors to the emotional and intellectual engagement of visitors with the museum environment. The findingsreveal that incorporating phenomenology principles has significantly elevated the overall design quality of the museumand provides visitors with a unique and immersive experience that highlights Bahrain's rich history and culturalheritage. Ultimately, this knowledge can inform future museum designers and professionals, leading to more effectiveand rewarding experiences for museum visitors.
