The Challenge: Design 20,000 square feet of exhibition space in Renzo Piano’s new museum, have it blend seamlessly into the building and the park setting and then engage, educate and inspire a global audience. We co-opted the scientific specimen box as a method of organizing content with a contemporary spin, allowing for the different kinds of information to be arranged in varied and compelling ways. The exhibit modules were developed from a standardized kit of parts- including direct-to-ply prints, low energy LED lightboxes, A/V and specimens creating a non-linear “contemporary cabinet of curiosities.”
