Museum Exhibits

This museum conveys richness and quiet solemnity in a simple fashion; worthy of the father of our country. This museum primarily consists of casings to house personal objects once belonging to George Washington and his family.

The eloquent look of this museum was achieved through custom built cases that were painted and then lined with deep colored suede fabric. Silk-screened panels were used for item identification while each casing provided security, built in preservation mechanisms and just the right lighting to announce the internal subject area.

Color-Ad was able to achieve the Witness to War exhibit through interpretive audio/visual programming and LED lighting which gives the visitor the you are there feel. The exhibit displays archeological material recovered at the site of the September 1814 bombardment.

The intent of this highly emotional and extensively informative exhibit was to highlight Anne Frank the Writer, An Unfinished Story. Through the point of view of Anne Frank and her family, the original diaries that left Holland for the first and only time, are displayed here in Washington, DC. Color-Ad not only continues to be honored in being a part of this intense project but we successfully exceeded the challenge of graphically describing their life responses to race, religion and ethnic group discrimination, exclusion, persecution and sometimes even murder.

The designers of this progressive Cherokee National Museum exhibit wanted the visitor to empathize on a human level with the Cherokee who endured the Trail of Tears. Visitors can view historically and culturally significant artifacts and artwork as well as learn about the journey of the Cherokee and four other tribes through the Trail of Tears exhibit permanently housed in the National Museum. It begins with the social sophistication of the Cherokee, then leads to the brutal injustice of their banishment and "death march 1000" to where the museum stands today.

This exhibit conveys the story of how the Spanish Missions in the San Antonio area assimilated the community to Christianity; it describes how it in turn affected their culture, trade and local farming by including specialized acrylic artifact cases, silk-screened manuscript, digital graphic photo panels and life size routed freestanding figures that are lighted throughout by fiber optic.

As this exhibit hits very close to home, the events of the second Battle of Manassas in the US Civil War took place on the actual grounds of the Visitor's Center.

By detailing this unique exhibit, Color-Ad created a highly customized ten foot tubular artifact case to house a Civil war soldier's VMI cadet uniform. The 360 degree viewing is unique by having its own custom engineered sealed door for security and accessibility. This is one of the many “one of a kind” displays we have engineered that can set you apart from the rest.

The exclusive specialized casework fabrication displays the Fuller Gun Collection; the most complete and expansive collection of firearms in the world. The museum allows the weapons to tell the story and show no preference to any one in particular.

This exceptionally sophisticated case was built to house our country's most precious documents. With preservation and security as a prime concern, Color-Ad engineered an enormous walnut-over-steel artifact casing keeping the classic and rich look desired to display a signed copy of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation plus the quill and inkwell used to sign them.

This display showcases exclusive pieces from White House furnishing collections. By displaying a piece from each administration it illustrates the impression each presidency left on the White House itself.
