Draw A Base
Let’s add some sculptures on the sides of the museum, but first we must build a base platform for it. Draw a rectangle with a thinner rectangle attached on top as shown.
-
Outline The Sculpture
Now, outline the shape of the sculpture attached to the top of the base.
-
Add Stairs
Add some stairs to the museum by drawing horizontal lines.
-
Form Columns
Attach four columns on top of the stairs. To draw a column, first form the rectangular base. Next, draw two vertical lines to form the main part of the column. Then, add the detailed part on top called the capital similar to the illustration.

Attach The Museum Signage
First, draw a rectangle. Then, write the text “MUSEUM”.

Add The Roof And Walls
Start by drawing the triangular-shaped roof in the middle. Add a smaller triangle on top of the signage. Then, form the sides of the museum by drawing a rectangle with a vertical line attached at the bottom.
-
Draw The Windows
Draw arch-shaped windows with a cross in the center.
-
Form The Door
Form the rectangular outline of the museum’s door. Next, add four squares. Then, draw a vertical line in the middle.
-
Complete The Museum Drawing
Let’s bring our museum drawing to life by adding some color! First, use a cream-colored crayon to fill in the museum signage, the middle part of the columns and the sculptures. Next, use a light blue crayon to color the windows. Now, use a brown crayon to shade the door, the center of the roof, and the top and bottom part of the columns. Then, use an orange crayon to color the stairs and the roof. Finally, paint the museum walls with a yellow crayon.
