Simon Wiesenthal died in Vienna in 2005 and the contents of this study were given to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. HKD were commissioned to make a display of the collection.
Our first task was to make an inventory of the material in Vienna and make a survey of the study to produce an exact replica in the Museum.
The new displays were integrated into the existing museum.
And the finished result was opened to the public in November 2007.
A film of Simon Wiesenthal’s life was designed into the display.
And key artefacts were mounted in custom designed showcases flanking the central exhibit.
