Suriname Museum
After nearly four years of dedicated work, the Suriname Museum has officially opened. Following a two-month try-out period, the museum was formally inaugurated by His Majesty King Willem-Alexander.
Lucien Guljé & Atelier Argos designed the museum’s visual identity. In addition, Atelier Argos created all offline campaigns and the 2D/3D exhibition design for Meet Su – Meet Us, in close collaboration with the core team and the Association Ons Suriname.
The core team consisted of:
Jan Gerards (Director), Ingrid Lochem (Project Leader), René Wissink (Design), Vincent Soekra (Chair), Felix Spruijt (Collection Management) and Ivette Foster. The team was later joined by Charlee Nilsson and Jessica Oosthoek.
