Met a couple the other day who works in the museum exhibits creation industry! The company they work for is Acadamy Studios. Thousands of threads of conversations came out of this, which leads to some fascinating links:
- The International Museum of Surgical Science, Chicago - http://www.imss.org/
- The Soane Museum, London - http://www.soane.org/index.html is a museum created by the victorian era collector, Sir John Sloane. Dusty and full of wacky stuff jam packed!
- Alexis Rockman - Fascinating artist who's mother worked at the Natural History Museum in New York . Following this thread led me to the Natural History Museum of New York reading about their diorama exhibits! There's a book about those dioramas and everything. From the books author : Stephen Quinn, Senior Project Manager in the Department of Exhibition, oversees all aspects of new diorama creation, and apprenticed under several diorama-art masters at the Museum such as Raymond deLucia, Robert Kane, and David J. Schwendeman. In the book, Mr. Quinn introduces the explorers, naturalists, painters, sculptors, taxidermists, and conservationists behind these three-dimensional marvels and explains how their collaborations make the displays so lifelike.
