A video display, titled "Commemorate & Celebrate Freedom," was projected on the facade of the National Museum of African American History and Culture on the National Mall in Washington

A new Smithsonian museum dedicated to telling the history of African-Americans lit up the National Mall on Monday night as historical images related to the Civil War, the abolition of slavery and the passage of the Voting Rights Act were projected onto the facade of the five-story building. Called the National Museum of African American History and Culture, it is slated to open next fall.

Atlantic Council - Qatar's New Slavery Museum

November 2, 2015 Juanita Wichienkuer
It was a huge surprise last week to learn of a new museum dedicated to a deeply sensitive topic: slavery in the Gulf. More surprising still, the museum is excellent. The slavery museum, one of four heritage museums built as part of Doha’s massive Msheirib Downtown project, had been kept under wraps and is not yet open to the public. The VIP ribbon cutting ceremony led by Sheikha Mouza bint Nasser, chairperson of Qatar Foundation, allowed prominent Qataris the opportunity to view the completed exhibits firsthand, before opinions formed elsewhere.

PROJECT     Wunderkammer exhibit by Tod Williams & Billie Tsien for the Common Ground exhibit curated by David Chipperfield

LOCATION     Venice, Italy

ROLE     Team member, Matthew Baird Architects, including design, fabrication, and on site installation in Venice

Inspired by the idea of the wunderkammer—“wonder-room” or “cabinet of curiosities”—that originated during the Renaissance, world-renowned architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien invited 35 celebrated architects and designers from around the world to create their own wunderkammers, filling boxes with objects that inspire them for display at the 2012 Venice Biennale.
