Museum Exhibits

Museum Exhibits have to be beautiful, durable, and engaging. We know how to build exhibits so they withstand the unique particulars of their intended environments, such as the hands-on enthusiasm of kids or the harsh conditions of the outdoors, all while staying true to the project’s original vision.

IMAGE RELAY
Exploratorium
Similar to a submarine periscope lying down, whatever is viewed through the image relay is seen as if it is only inches away rather than the actual 16'. It also teaches about color and light wavelengths

FADING MOTION
Exploratorium
A pendulum drips dark sand to show the decreasing lengths of its arc.

DISPLAY CASE
San Jose Tech Museum
This display case, built to hold a kinetic art piece, included speakers and built in cabinetry, and was installed at the San Jose airport.

BUBBLE HOOPS
IBM via Exploratorium
IBM’s science museum in Manhattan included these rings of stainless steel for creating oversized bubbles that would then float lazily across the exhibition floor.

PAN PIPES
Exploratorium
Glass pipes on steel base pick up different frequencies in the surrounding area. Listening to different ones amplifies different sounds, clarify the audio layers in the environment.

FOG CHAMBER
Exploratorium
Through an external pumping lever, users can build up pressure manually and then release it quickly, causing fog to form instantly in the chamber. Participants learn about air pressure, dew point, humidity, and air temperature.

CHAOTIC PENDULUM
Exploratorium
This interactive piece allows users to observe the chaotic nature of random motion.

MOMENTUM MACHINE
Exploratorium
This single occupancy merry-go-round shows kids how their body position affects the speed of spinning, teaching them about centrifical force.

BERNOULLI LEVITATOR
Exploratorium
Designed by D. Falkand and M. Holmberg, this exhibit levitates a red disk, demonstrating the same principle that causes planes to fly.

ARCH BRIDGE
Exploratorium
Modular bridge blocks made from 6061-T6 aluminum allow kids to build an overpass that is capable of supporting human weight.
