Brief
Create an exhibit for a new museum about president James Madison’s life. Inform and engage the viewers using only a small amount of actual artifacts and working in a small, listed space.
Solution
Rooms were organised by different themes and furniture was used as a concept to tell the story. An informative walk was created in the property’s extensive gardens.
