Entry Description

Integrating classical collections with spectacular scenography, sculptural elements and state-of-the-art technology, Casson Mann’s transformation of the maritime museum brings the power and drama of the sea to Paris.
Huge, sculptural ‘landmarks’ complement the heritage architecture and immerse visitors– a ship’s hull, a cluster of shipping containers and a giant wave animated by projections.
A finely tuned balance between contemporary design, innovation and cultural heritage, the new museum combines historic collections, tactile models, digital interactives, and innovative multimedia.
