Beauty and the Bead

The project

An exhibition of no less than seven hundred objects, distributed across five themes, presented in an unrestricted arrangement of islands of glass display cabinets.

Committee

This exhibition in the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam was one of a kind. The forceful and effective way in which the design reveals all the facets of the bead is truly remarkable. The grid arrangement with simple glass display cases served the purpose of what was on show perfectly – a feast for the eyes.
