Focusing on the creative life and lessons of the prominent 92-year old museum exhibition designer, Ted Cohen, this visually driven book offers useful information on the design form, while promising to illuminate creative possibilities for the readers’ own unique spaces. In thinking about an exhibition, most people recall its objects—not the spaces between, its color or architectural details. In this sense, exhibition design is a silent art—never to be cherished over collections on display, yet crucial in engaging viewers. Cohen is a master, who has created over 800 exhibitions for nearly 30 museums, as well as installations in hospitals and private collections,

This hardbound book is a handsome, limited edition of interest to anyone working in or interested in museum exhibition design, as well as residential design. Along with historic and contemporary images and extensive text, it includes a large series of informative “lessons” that are based on Cohen’s teachings in exhibition design.
