Opened November 2023, Casson Mann has transformed the Musée national de la Marine in the heart of Paris. Our scenography balances the needs of an authoritative national museum, with the desire to create a compelling visitor experience for a wide audience. The scheme includes huge, sculptural ‘landmarks’ that lead visitors through the museum, for example, a ship’s hull, a suspended shipping container and a giant wave animated by projections. Another highlight is the ship model gallery, where visitors have 360-degree views of the ships in the national collection. The design integrates rich collections, including marine art, with tactile models and digital interactives. The result is an immersive and unforgettable museum, suitable for a 21st century audience.
