While the subject matter may be a little shocking, and the tone is something akin to True Detective, The Hart Island Project website is pretty incredible in a design sense.

The video intro – don’t skip it – it sets the tone that is continued through out the site. And while the patented Traveling Cloud Museum over the map of the island is extremely cool, you may want to head over to The History, About, and Mission pages in the off-screen menu on the right to get a sense of why, and background for the rest of the site. The design (by Studio Airport – @Studio_AIRPORT – out of The Netherlands) is great, but the story is even more interesting.
