Ming Fay:
Edge of the Garden
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Challenge
Bring more than one hundred sculptures together as a coherent exhibition while preserving the character of each work.
Strategy
Over two years of development, AMCP shaped layered arrangements and sightlines around a path that echoes the garden outside. The design connects Ming Fay’s imagined nature with the museum’s horticultural identity.
Solution
A walk-through garden in the Hostetter Gallery, where individual sculptures become part of an unfolding spatial experience. Restrained display elements keep attention on the works and their relationships.
