ABOUT THE PROJECT

We reinstalled Crystal Bridges’ Early American collection in 2018, making key changes to the architecture to make the art and architecture work better together. We created new design solutions that highlighted Moshe Safdie’s soaring wood ceilings without diminishing the art, while also making the flooring continuous to increase flexibility in the future. Partnering with curators, we interspersed contemporary and Native American works at key moments to make the story both educational and more inclusive.
