A COLLaborative effort

Curious Beast worked with George Tsutakawa’s son Gerry Tsutakawa to select the drawings and scale models of sculptures that were displayed in the show.

Surprising moments

For other parts of the museum, Curious Beast designed interpretive displays for a number of unusual artifacts, including wall displays for Cantonese Chinese Opera costumes, and a group of Eight Immortals figures once found in a beloved local restaurant.
