Atrium Galleries

Imperial War Museum, London

As part of Imperial War Museum London’s refurbishment in 2014, Casson Mann created new, dramatic displays in the museum’s Atrium, designed by Fosters + Partners. Nine iconic objects, including a Harrier jet and a Spitfire suspended from above, a V2 rocket, a T34 tank and a damaged Reuters Land Rover were presented in the new Atrium. As visitors move up through the transformed space, terraces lead to chronologically organised galleries. On each level, Casson Mann created dramatic installations, or ‘display clusters’, that tell key stories. Large and small objects are interwoven with media and bold graphic displays that take visitors from WW2, to Northern Ireland, the Falklands, and Afghanistan.

"Casson Mann rose to the challenge of creating a truly 'wonder full', compelling and inspirational new design befitting the Hunterian's extraordinary collections. It has been a stimulating and rewarding process working with the Casson Mann team. Their creative spirit of enquiry is infectious and their attention to quality and the visitor's experience is second to none."  

Dawn Kemp, Director of Museums and Special Collections at the Royal College of Surgeons of England

“The Casson Mann agency took up a huge challenge by conceiving a resolutely modern and creative scenography, perfectly meeting the requirements of our unique demand. A very successful sensory immersion in the heart of the Champagne region. A big thank you for your creative work and your follow-up from the beginning to the end of the project.”      

Victor Canchon, Director of Pressoria (Aÿ-Champagne)
