To showcase its new 50,500-square-foot Canadian History Hall, the Canadian Museum of History first entrusted us to design the Hall’s accompanying souvenir catalogue. Presented in a larger format than the Museum’s typical souvenir catalogues, this publication focused on integrating the visual styles of the exhibition with a clean, clear, and captivating presentation of the content.
The resulting catalogue was very well received by Canadian History Hall visitors, donors, and stakeholders alike, and still serves as a comprehensive and detailed take-home record of the space. The original catalogue also featured a wrap-around sleeve that featured a custom illustration of the Canadian Museum of History.
Immediately following the catalogue’s overwhelmingly positive reception, Museum management asked us to create a more commemorative version of the catalogue for key donors and stakeholders, resulting the coffee table book featured here. This version was enlarged again to give the book more visual prominence, and the cover was changed to a hardcover format featuring a textured and debossed design.
