IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM, LONDON, FIRST WORLD WAR GALLERIES

摘要

As Part of Imperial War Museum London's refurbishment, exhibition design practice Casson Mann has designed the museum's new First World War Galleries, which have reopened to coincide with the centenary anniversary events taking place throughout the year. Casson Mann has been working with the museum's curatorial team since 2011 to develop the new scheme for IWM London, including a large object installation in the Foster + Partners-designed atrium and a series of temporary installations representing post-1918 conflicts. After three years of extensive research Roger Mann, Casson Mann's creative director, says that the biggest challenge was processing the findings, that were the basis for reimagining the First World War galleries. Wanting to break from the 'inevitable expectations associated with a timeline of battles' Mann involved the entire team in the creative process to create a unique gallery experience that differs from the many other exhibitions, galleries, books and films on the subject.
