Objective: Thus, the main objective of the study is to analyze the information architecture from the architectural approach, considering aspects related to Architecture and Design that these virtual environments offer to the visiting public, as well as the possibilities and resources of interactivity.Methodology: Therefore, it is anchored in a study of an exploratory and descriptive character, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, having the Museum of Photography of Ceará as the locus of the research. The electronic questionnaire is used for data collection and content analysis.Results: As a result, it points out some usability problems according to the investigated heuristics as well as the positives of the site. It highlights as positive the heuristics control and freedom of users and aesthetic and minimalist design.Conclusions: Finally, it concludes that information architecture is an emerging area for analyzing digital information environments and that the studied environment has good elements with regard to interactivity, but that it still needs to undergo usability corrections, especially with regard to 3D visitation.
