Exhibition design
The National Museum of Australia appointed Cunningham Martyn Design to design the gallery Landmarks: People and Places across Australia.
Cunningham Martyn Design is an Australian firm based in Melbourne. It has worked on other projects for the National Museum, including the Australian Journeys gallery which opened in January 2009.
Cunningham Martyn Design worked with staff from across the Museum – curators, conservators, registrars, educators and multimedia producers – throughout the design and development process.
3D visualisations from the concept design
Concept designs for the gallery were delivered in July 2009. This included draft floor plans, selected draft case layouts and a series of 3D visualisation of the space. Here's a preview of a some of the 3D visualisations.
