It's Circus Time!

Design
Museum

An immersion in the circus world

A museum installation for the Pointe-à-Callière Museum. An achievement by Rümker.

Enchanting young and old- A fun exhibit on circus arts and their place in Montreal's history.

CLIENT

Musée Pointe-à-Callière

Mandate

Creating this exhibit came with a great deal of responsibility: co-developing the scenario in parallel with the design, working with the space constraints of the museum's atypical rooms, showcasing more than a hundred artifacts. Added to this were the pandemic’s new health measures as well as supply and workforce challenges.

Approach

Our desire to act as a creative leader and to collaborate with all the partners involved has made it possible to find the best solutions to all problems and to adapt to the numerous changes, with the common goal of providing a vibrant and dynamic visit experience.

ResultS

Visitors of all ages are transported in a state of fun, wonder, and surprise across the three floors of the exhibition.

L'exposition Place au Cirque! a pris vie dans les quatre salles d'exposition de la Maison-des-Marins du Musée Pointe-à-Callières. Sa conception a été réfléchie pour lui permettre de partir en tournée dans différentes villes du Québec, dont Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke et Chicoutimi. La modularité et la polyvalence ont été des critères essentiels lors de la conception.

“Among the scenography’s striking elements is the animated fresco, created in collaboration with Lucion. This large curved wall, with wooden figures, acts as a screen where acrobats and circus animals appear. The music and the light make the room vibrate and will undoubtedly leave an impression.”

L'approche de circularité du cycle de vie en fabrication est également un aspect qui nous est cher. Les pièces qui ne sont pas parties en tournée se sont vues récupérées et revalorisées pour éviter d’être envoyées à l'enfouissement. La conception modulaire a aussi permis de limiter au maximum les caissons de transport et les volumes d'entreposage entre les différents lieux de tournée.
