Environmental Management Exhibit
Brandywine River Museum
Chadds Ford, PA
The Brandywine Conservancy includes both the Environmental Management Center, an active environmental consulting group, and the better-known Brandywine River Museum, famous for its collection of three generations of Wyeth art. The idea was to publicize the EMC through an exhibit in the well-attended art museum. The exhibit design had to be compatible with the art collection.
Immediacy was at the heart of our exhibit design. On a wall-sized topographical map that stretched from the Susquehanna to the Delaware, we made every 4"x4" section of the map interchangeable with a 4"x4" translucent display block prepared to show where the EMC was active on that day. It was important that the light pattern change every few weeks, and the fully-backlit display made it easy - so repeat visitors to the Art Museum would notice a change of pattern on every visit.
