The 485 sq m exhibition, on the Museum’s first floor, has a thematic structure, featuring a group of stories arranged as ‘narrative islands’ and highlighting key objects from the Museum’s collection.

Nissen Richards Studio had refreshed its brand as the practice approaches its 15-year anniversary in 2025. Director Pippa Nissen commented that ‘Our previous ‘Nissen Richards’ logo could be confusing, as it missed out the word ‘Studio’, especially when being a studio is such an important part of our collaborative practice.’

The new identity features bespoke design features, which nod to our detail-oriented and experimental processes. ‘A bolder sans serif typeface with geometric forms feels cleaner, contemporary, and more approachable from the outset’ Senior Graphic Designer Michael Curia explained. We also worked on an icon that we can use flexibly to identify us on documents and through our work. For this we merged the 2 initials ’n’ and ‘r’ so they are united together – and resemble a building in their form.
