Beaney House of Art and Knowledge

Canterbury, Kent, UK

Casson Mann redesigned Beaney House of Art and Knowledge in 2012 to re-present its diverse collections, which span ethnology, natural history, archaeology, decorative and fine art. Introducing the collections is a huge Cabinet of Curiosities – stuffed birds, Greek vases, regimental trophies, Siberian maps, shoes and muskets – filling the room with variety and interest. Central tables equipped with drawers, irresistible investigative tools, and learning games provide fun for visitors. The atmosphere is welcoming and family friendly and its open arms are succeeding: visitor figures increased by 190% after reopening.

"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)
