The building project revealed an opportunity that
only comes along once in a generation…if you’re lucky. That is, we had the
chance to remove every object from the museum and re-think the best way to
present what the Wall Street Journal calls “the most important museum West
of Philadelphia!” The driving principle of our process was the singular
importance of the objects themselves and the need to put them in context
for the public. The final result is an interpretive approach that places many
of these stunning objects within their original social, historical and
spiritual, contexts and often within their role in daily life.
