Ralph Appelbaum Associates (RAA) is the world's largest museum exhibition design firm. It has offices in New York City, London, Beijing, Berlin, Moscow, and Dubai.
The New York Times reported in 1999 that the firm was composed of "architects, designers, editors, model builders, historians, childhood specialists, one poet, one painter and one astrophysicist."
The project the firm is most well known for is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, which has been described as a "turning point in museology."
The firm was founded in 1978 by Ralph Appelbaum (born 1942), a graduate of Pratt Institute and former Peace Corps volunteer (in Peru). Mr. Appelbaum currently directs RAA's undertakings, and retains daily involvement in selected commissions.
According to its website, RAA has completed "700 commissions in over 40 countries."
