Mankind Takes a Fall in New Museum Displays
On wunderkammern and museum displays. There’s a shot or two couple from the American Museum of Natural History, where I worked a couple of years ago (Remember the scene in “Election” where Matthew Broderick is leading the tour group? My desk was mere feet from there). The museum itself was quite an exhibit — you could see the evolution of displays from dioramas in dark halls to open, airy walkarounds for the dinosaur skeletons to the layering of multimedia over the immersive environment of the Hall of Biodiversity.
