    Abstract
    An art museum, sometimes known as an art gallery, is a building or place dedicated to the exhibition of art, usually from the museum's collection. It could be public or private property, and it could be open to the public or restricted. The three primary roles of collection, research and public program are inextricably linked in the concept of an art museum, and the museum's management, generally its director, seeks to achieve and maintain a proper balance between them. (Wikipedia, 2021) This paper will focus on the study of space syntax to extract the level of permeability and wayfinding of a museum in Canada named the Audain Art Museum. Audain Art Museum is a 56 thousand-square-foot private museum located in Whistler, British Columbia. The site is located at the Creek floodplain in a rural area. This article will apply the space syntax technique, which will be further developed into a justified graph to gain a better knowledge of the museum's spatial structure. Audain Art Museum illustrates hard accessibility and is designed with semi-private permeability to serve the building purpose. The museum is considered a semi-public and semi-private space because the public is not allowed to enter the building without purchasing a ticket. The spaces allocated for the services are too much for a small museum. The exhibition space of the museum should be extended and reduce the space for services and storage. It is important to maintain the flow of visitors.
