FireNooks : NOSCE TE IPSUM

Permanent exhibition, 2024

Scenography for the permanent exhibition FireNooks at the Maude Abbott Medical Museum, transforming old fire hose stations into display cases for an atypical museum journey across four floors.

This project to recycle old fire hose stations has created an unusual exhibition route through the 4 floors of the Strathcona building. The exhibition presents pieces from the museum’s collection, staged according to illustrations from anatomy textbooks.

DBD transformed these architectural elements, which had become obsolete, into display cases and meticulously adapted the installation of the artifacts in concert with Dr. Fraser, himself an artist at heart!
