MUSUEM OF NATURAL HISTORY HALL OF GEMS & MINERALS
Cassidy developed and refined the interpretive and spatial composition of specimen displays, cataloging and illustrating thousands of collection objects to support curatorial narratives, visual hierarchy, and visitor legibility.
She collaborated closely with the Visual Design team to integrate graphic systems and interpretive media into exhibit casework and mounts, producing original graphic elements and editing photographic assets.
She also reviewed shop drawings throughout fabrication to ensure alignment with curatorial intent, design standards, and exhibition best practices.
Cassidy cataloged thousands of specimens from the museum’s collection and choreographed their placement into dynamic, legible compositions within tightly defined curatorial and spatial parameters.
THIS COLLECTION consists of approximately 350,000 mineral specimens and 10,000 gems, making it one of the largest of its kind in the world.
She assisted developing original graphic components to enhance visitor understanding.
