Introduction

The exhibition is revealing the extraordinary story of the collection and its owners, and reintroduces the public to remarkable East Asian objects that have not been on display for several decades. Exhibition raises questions about the origins of the collection and the art market in Beijing at the time, tells the story of the Skušek family, and, through selected objects, offers valuable insight into the specificities of East Asian societies and cultures even today.

Conclusion

At DG DESIGN, our approach to exhibition graphics combines a comprehensive project view with user empathy. Our process involves content analysis, space optimisation, and collaboration with curators and museum teams. We focus on legibility, visual perception and identity, ensuring effective production and setup.

The graphics we have meticulously crafted, both within the exhibition space and in the different visual communication pieces, offer a contemporary lens on the passage of time. They are not just a visual representation, but a catalyst for reflection of the true story dedicated to Asian art. The color system is based on the concept of blue and red that capture the idea of the subtlety of the colors of the exhibited objects.
