Experience Design, Honorable Mention
Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia鈥檚 Sacred Mountain
We worked with the Cleveland Museum of Art, a long-time client, on the 鈥淩evealing Krishna鈥 exhibition to transport visitors to the dramatic floodplains of southern Cambodia and show the life story of the sculpture 鈥淜rishna Lifting Mount Govardhan,鈥 spanning 1,500 years and three continents.
