Case by Case | Designing the display typologies for the Princeton Art Museum’s galleries

The conversation will provide insight into the collaborative design process that includes the client, the design team, and the case fabricator in the crafting of display typologies for the Princeton University Art Museum.

Three takeaways

1. A deeper understanding of the value of a systematic approach to art display for achieving an exciting visitor journey with multiple modes of engagement.
2. Collaboration and open communication across disciplines will minimize project risk.
3. Developing a showcase that evolves from the collaboration and trust across all project stakeholders from the initial concepts through the last detail.
