For its 2019 spring exhibition Camp: Notes on Fashion, the Met's Costume Institute set out to transform the Anna Wintour Costume Center into an immersive journey through fashion and time across 4,200 square feet and eight galleries, requiring museum-grade display cases with integrated climate control, lighting, and AV. 


Hudson Scenic Studios engineered, fabricated, finished, and installed the custom exhibition architecture throughout all eight galleries, including Camp Eye, a two-story black box showcase room with two tiers of brightly colored cases.
