Dinah Casson

Trustee of the Charleston Trust, Dinah Casson set up her design practice in 1970, and her partnership with Roger Mann in 1984 – forming Casson Mann. Since 1992, Casson Mann has focused most of its work on the design of museums and exhibitions. These have ranged from the object-based British Galleries at the V&A and the Great North Museum in Newcastle, through to the highly technological Churchill Museum in the Cabinet War Rooms at the Imperial War Museums.

Recent projects include the Nelson Navy Nation gallery at the National Maritime Museum, and the First World War galleries at the Imperial War Museums. During the last six years, the practice has designed projects in the UK, US, Russia, Italy and France, where two new museum projects will open next year. Casson Mann’s work has been published extensively and has won numerous awards.
