Ralph Appelbaum Associates (www.raany.com) are planners, designers, and
producers of award-winning museum exhibitions, visitor centers, and
educational environments. Subject areas range from natural history and
the physical sciences, to cultural, social, and corporate history,
sports, and the fine arts.
Founded in 1978, and currently the largest interpretive museum design
firm in the world, RAA has an interdisciplinary staff of more than
seventy-five specialists in different aspects of design and
communications: technology and media specialists, architects, writers,
editors, and management personnel; and has 125 built projects.
The firm is best known for large-scale, permanent museum projects
requiring a marriage of complex educational content with physical
environments that are at once compelling and smoothly operational. More
modest projects cover a wide range of services that address special
needs and special phases in institutional or corporate development.
Notable among these are master planning, fund-raising strategies and
materials, outreach concepts, temporary exhibitions, media programs,
library and theater design, publication and promotional design, and
public monuments and memorials.
