Founded in 1949 in London by Viennese émigrés Walter and Eva Neurath, Thames & Hudson was established with the mission to create a 'museum without walls.' The founders, who pioneered the concept of co-edition publishing, sought to make the world of art and top-tier scholarly research accessible to a broad reading public. The brand's name and its signature double-dolphin logo symbolize a transatlantic connection between the rivers of London and New York, reflecting its international outlook from the start.
