National Museum of Ireland

Inspired by historic cabinets of curiosity, Wonder Cabinet is a new exhibition & learning space, allowing visitors young & old get their hands on artefacts including a 30,000 year old Hyena jaw & giant Loggerhead Turtle. Derived from the theme ‘Predator & Prey’ we created a bilingual visual identity, lighting, pattern & identification system. Our design is sympathetic to the historic national museum building, uses sustainable materials & ethically sourced taxidermy only.
