Photographing museum staircases and transitions

Museum photography often focuses on collections and galleries, but transitional spaces can be interesting subjects as well.

Staircases, corridors, balconies, landings, and connecting walkways often reveal a lot about a museum's design. They show how visitors move through the building and can create strong lines, patterns, and perspectives for photography.

These spaces are easy to overlook because they are usually seen as routes rather than destinations. Yet they can sometimes produce some of the most striking images from a visit.

Do you ever photograph staircases or transitional spaces in museums?

What makes those kinds of images appealing to you?
