AMSTERDAM/NEW AMSTERDAM: THE WORLDS OF HENRY HUDSON
The exhibition Amsterdam/New Amsterdam: The Worlds of Henry Hudson at the Museum of the City of New York examines Hudson’s historic journey and the cultural link between Amsterdam and New York that are an integral part of the city today.
This exhibition design uses large, modern curvilinear forms inspired by Hudson’s ship de Halve Maen (the Half Moon) to create a compelling context for interpreting this rich history. The design allows visitors to easily imagine what it was like to cross the Atlantic in the relatively small (85-foot-long) ship.
* This project was completed at Pentagram, New York.
