Accommodating the large checklist within the historic galleries demanded creative solutions.
A system of custom platforms with interlocking cases allowed for a dense object arrangement. Rich, saturated wall colors differentiate the thematic sections.
Stretching across two floors, the show includes a collection of decorative arts and fashion fashion installed within the museum’s large, permanent second floor vitrines.
The entire show was modeled and documented in 3D, allowing for a clear understanding of the objects and a smooth installation. This strategy was key in developing the display solution for two massive panels from Josef Urban’s Ziegfeld Theater on the museum’s grand stair’s landing.
