making an exhibition
A 4-part, behind-the-scenes series on Aga Khan Museum’s newest exhibition being brought to life with host Ali Badshah.
Aga Khan Museum
episode 1: The Art of the Image
We worked with the Aga Khan Museum create the concept for this hosted documentary series as a way to create a buzz for this upcoming new exhibition.
Equal parts engaging and educational – we built out a 4-episode series with host (and long-time Bonfire pal) Ali Badshah. In each episode, Ali takes viewers on a journey throughout never-before-seen areas of the Museum, meeting with staff, curators, artists and conservators along the way.
Each episode covers a different milestone in the exhibition creation, starting with object selection and curation, all the way up to opening day.
The result is a truly unique look at the inner-workings of a world-renowned museum and a celebration of the hard-working people that give it their all to share these objects with the public.
