What began as a series of informal conversations between colleagues, evolved into a pioneering museum consultancy firm. We recognized that cultural institutions around the world faced similar challenges no matter the geopolitical differences of their locations. Namely, utilizing, or establishing cultural assets and artistic invention to stimulate economic growth and creative dynamism; and to attract and intrigue numerous constituencies, leaving people with memorable experiences and an expanded outlook on the possibilities of artistic and intellectual experimentation.

With our combined knowledge of strategic innovation, architecture and audience development we are able to convert those challenges into opportunities for wonderment and learning.
