Gail and Barry Lord are obsessed with museums. As internationally acclaimed museum experts, this husband and wife team is now jet-setting across the globe to consult with the world’s top institutions, architects and exhibition designers to create and re-invent museums for the 21st century. Past projects include contracts with the Louvre, the Tate, and the Guggenheim Bilbao. Go behind the scenes to some of their current projects including the World Trade Center Memorial in New York City, the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg.
