Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches
Auckland War Memorial Museum
An international touring exhibition from the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), and developed primarily for a family audience, Bloodsuckers explored the diversity, evolution and interconnected world of nature’s vampires, myths and legends they have inspired.
Working with existing component designs supplied by ROM, I designed and adapted the spatial layout of Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches to ensure the exhibition had a unified identity across 4 separate gallery spaces, while maintaining the thematic structure of the exhibition. The spatial design had to cater for larger activity spaces, and provide engaging lines of sight throughout. All aspects of design were signed off by both AWMM and ROM.
