ELYSIA GRACE
FORWARD THINKING DESIGN
museum of mythical creatures

A project based at The Malthouse in Stroud, an old brewery turned restaurant and antique store. A conversion of the restaurant area into a pop up museum exhibition space themed around the history and origin of mythical creatures. Including interactive exhibits and maintaining a connection with cabinets of curiosity. The final design also contained a live/ work space for a curator.
