Benjamin Franklin Museum

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Located underground beneath Franklin Court, the site of Franklin’s former house, and opened in 2013, this is the only museum in the United States dedicated to a full exploration of Benjamin Franklin. Our first task was to make the museum arrival point more immediately visible; and link the upstairs and downstairs within a new entrance pavilion. In the museum, we told Franklin’s story through a series of rooms that correspond to the rooms of the (now missing) house above ... Franklin’s library is presented as an immersive installation that touches on his legacy as a scientist, correspondent, inventor, book collector, politician, and writer of the most widely read biography in the world.

"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)
