MUSEUM & EXHIBIT MODELS

Museum & exhibit models

Museum models give visitors a closer look at subjects that may be too large, remote or fragile to see directly. We make exhibit models of landscapes, objects and systems, shaping each piece around the story you want to tell and the space where it will be displayed.

THE APPROACH

Make the subject easier to explore

For the Yakima Valley Museum, we cut the terrain around Mount St. Helens from elevation data and laser etched the grayscale surface. For the Ontario Science Centre, we made an ice core from layered resin and lit it from below. The subject and the gallery setting shaped each build.

GETTING STARTED

Planning a project

An exhibit plan helps us understand how a museum model will fit into the visitor experience. We’ll talk about viewing height, lighting, labels and how close people can get. If the piece will be handled or moved, or needs a protective case, those details belong in the plan from the beginning. Read our guide to planning a museum or exhibit model.
