The Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh commissioned Bricolage to create a tantalizing immersive experience in conjunction with their celebration of The Noble Quartet. Using Carnegie’s travel log, Round the World, as inspiration, we set about with our creative partners, Gab Cody and Sam Turich, to develop twelve distinct encounters. Travelers on this time-bending adventure rendezvoused with scientists and performers positioned in secret and reimagined spaces within the dioramas and inside archives of The Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The evening culminated with a resounding choral performance in the grand staircase.
