Graphic walls, three dimensional artifacts, interactive touch walls, an immersive theatre, touch screens, seating areas, and display cases round out this full featured exhibit. Lighting is used to help guide visitors through the exhibit, highlighting key information and creating texture and contrast.
The lighting design features a family of sleek linear light fixtures, incorporating track heads and quiet cellular lighting elements. Linear lighting assemblies are arranged in a radial array, with dynamic angles assisting in wayfinding and bringing a bold and vibrant atmosphere to the 3200 square foot exhibit space.
