- As we move into March, Women’s History Month, we want to celebrate Faith Ringold and her solo exhibit, American People at the New Museum in New York.
- To commemorate the close of Black History Month, we want to feature, One More River to Cross, at the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Museum and Heritage Center in Niagara Falls, NY.
- We are heading to ACM’s Interactivity and AAM’s Annual Meeting in person and we are looking forward to reconnecting after a long slumber of virtual annual meetings.
- If you have experience working in exhibits, project management, or museum fabrication, we are hiring. Check out our Jobs page for more details.
FAST FORWARD
Take a peek at the official walkthrough for the Florida Children’s Museum (formally known as Explorations V). To learn more about the design, partners, and museum’s vision, check out their website.
The exhibits look to their local heritage and natural resources as inspiration to tell the stories of the people and wonders of Florida.
It has been such a privilege to be the fabrication partner amongst all of the other talented team members to realize this children’s museum that is scheduled to open later this year.

FLASHBACK FUN
If you’re heading to St. Louis anytime soon or if you are joining the museum community for ACM’s Interactivity conference, take a minute to splash around at Magic House’s Waterfall Patio!
This experience activates the museum’s outdoor space to connect exhibits from the indoor spaces to the beautiful grounds of the Victorian mansion. These fun water-play activities encourage visitors to learn through cooperative-play and physical coordination problem solving tasks.
