Today marks the second anniversary of the opening of the @nasjonalmuseet, the largest art museum in the Nordic countries.Endpoint was appointed by the Norwegian Government to design and develop the wayfinding system for this new National Museum. The goal was to unite four of Norway's five national museums under one roof, creating a space for classic and contemporary art, architecture, and design. This posed the challenge of developing a wayfinding system that would enhance the experience of this highly anticipated public building.We worked closely with @metric_design, who created the museum’s visual identity, and we created a bilingual wayfinding system that is easy to navigate and clearly presented in both Norwegian and English.Click on the link in our bio to learn more about our work.Or, if you prefer, listen to Ragna Jacobsen, Senior Exhibition Designer at the National Museum of Norway, discuss the project in detail and address the challenges with our Wayfinding Design Director Alison Richings on our Wayfinding X Change podcast.📸 National Museum
