National Museum of American History – wmwmwm is William Morrisey

National
Museum of
American
History

When Museum director John Gray called for a new Identity System, the North Star for the project was that it be bold and adventurous.

We created an open, engaging, substantive, relatable, and forward facing system — one that can house an exhibition about Helen Keller or Steve Jobs. The core strategic insight that anchors all work is the notion that at the Museum, you can find yourself in the American story.
