PURE MUSEUM OF PURPOSE
A unique ART museum with an easy to manage design
PURE Insurance commissioned Tessellate to conceptualize and execute a unique museum experience designed to showcase salvaged artwork from its high-net-worth claims collection. While these once-multi-million-dollar masterpieces lost their monetary valuation following catastrophic damage, Tessellate reclaimed their true worth through powerful human stories, emotional narrative, and critical risk mitigation insights. Tessellate engineered a highly tactile, visually compelling environment structured around three core narrative pillars: the compelling story of each object's destruction, PURE’s bespoke claims and restoration response, and actionable strategies for policyholders to prevent future art loss.
Serving as an end-to-end design and technology partner, Tessellate developed every dimension of the exhibition in close collaboration with PURE leadership. The comprehensive scope encompassed spatial and physical exhibit design, content strategy, environmental graphics, and custom interactive installations. To power the exhibition's digital touchpoints, Tessellate architected a flexible, proprietary software platform backed by a custom Content Management System (CMS), delivering a sophisticated, highly engaging brand showcase that elevates loss prevention into an unforgettable cultural narrative.
“The Tessellate team was great to work with. The design team was collaborative, creative, and thoughtful. They helped us organize the narratives and the content for the museum. We would not have been able to bring this vision to life without them.”
