The Menil Collection
2024–2025
Bringing a neighborhood of art online
The Menil fosters direct encounter with art in spaces that seamlessly integrate with the surrounding residential community. We partnered with the museum to redesign their digital experience, ensuring users have a clear understanding of the breadth and depth of the campus and bringing the unique story of each of their galleries to life. The design draws from the museum’s unique spatial language—its asymmetry, natural light, and quiet sense of place—to frame the art with care. Through a restrained palette, editorial typography, and generous use of space, we sought to echo the intimacy and atmosphere of the galleries online.
From a technology perspective, bringing the collection online was complicated by cumbersome infrastructure. We worked closely with their team to build a custom solution that stitched together data from their collections management system, TMS, and their DAMS into a collections experience that allows for robust filtering and has IIIF capabilities.
