Stories and Sets for the Sopranos (exhibition at Momi)

Museum of the Moving Image will pay tribute to HBO‘s iconic mob drama The Sopranos with an exhibition and three special screenings featuring showrunner and series creator David Chase and cast members Steven Van Zandt, Dominic Chianese, Edie Falco, and Annabella Sciorra.
Stories and Sets for The Sopranos, opening February 14 in the NYC Museum’s Amphitheater Gallery, will trace how the series’ narrative and visual worlds were established. Drawing from Chase’s personal archive, the exhibition features scripts, notes, and research that document the development of the series’ story arcs and character trajectories as it moved from a pilot into the first season. It also examines the design of the four principal sites where the series’ central action was set —Dr. Melfi’s office, the Soprano home, the Bada Bing strip club, and Satriale’s Pork Store—through concept art, construction drawings, and ground plans by production designers Edward Pisoni (pilot) and Dean Taucher (season one).
