This paper is on the non-structural partitions and furniture in galleries and public library spaces with a seismic point of view. For each part, firstly the most important issues at hand that should be put into consideration in both seismic behavior and building functionality, are mentioned. Then a medium detailed designed option is suggested. The prototypes in some cases may be more of an idea.
