The Doan Gang - Outlaws of the Revolution

Gecko Group was thrilled to collaborate with the Mercer Museum team, alongside longtime partners ArtGuild, Inc. Our team was tasked with helping bring the vision to life through the design of immersive, scenic environments that would act as a backdrop to carry visitors through the story of the Doan Gang. We also collaborated to develop the hierarchy and design style for the interpretive graphics and interactive experiences.
 

Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library New Orientation Exhibit

Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library features the stunning mansion, lush gardens, and remarkable research facilities and library. The brainchild of Henry Francis du Pont, the site is a beautiful place to spend a day appreciating the flowers, exploring the historic rooms, and taking in contemporary art. Within their Welcome Center, the former book shop sat empty, a perfect space to create a much-needed introduction to the site. Gecko Group was pleased to collaborate with the Winterthur team and fabrication partner, Art Guild, to develop and design this special exhibit.

Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor

The 2,000 year old Terracotta Warriors are one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of our time. This traveling exhibit features ten terracotta figures and over 160 artifacts of jade, gold, bronze, weapons and ceremonial vessels on loan from China. 

 

The exhibit focuses on the science behind the figures, uncovering how and why they were made. Featuring multi-sensory, immersive experiences designed to transport visitors in time and place. Engaging interactives help visitors understand the challenges facing today’s archaeologists and conservators as they piece together the remarkable history of the Emperor’s empire. Interpretive content encourages visitors to question what they see as they delve deeper into the science of ancient China.

Unhoused - Personal Stories and Public Health

This powerful exhibit explores the risks and challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. The exhibit features two remarkable artists Leah den Bok and Willie Baronet.

Gecko Group was excited to collaborate with the artists and the Mütter Museum team to create an interpretive experience that complemented the artwork. 

Audubon Homepage Slider

John James Audubon Center

The exhibits at John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove reflect the National Audubon Society’s focus on bringing together science, education, advocacy, conservation efforts and collaboration. Anchor stations, placed strategically throughout the exhibit space, present key themes and orient visitors to some of the amazing qualities of birds, the need for conservation, and Audubon’s remarkable work. The exhibit uses a mix of traditional interpretive panels, coupled with tactile, auditory, and hands-on interactive elements and engaging digital multimedia to capture the visitor’s interest and spark their curiosity.

Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania Exterior Wayfinding and Interpretive Signage

Following successful work to reimagine the interior of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (RMP), Gecko Group was thrilled to continue our partnership. Collaborating again with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission team, we undertook the task of enhancing the exterior visitor experience. Our challenge, make the unassuming industrial-looking site visible, welcoming, and reflective of RMP’s character. The new building and entry signage provides a clear identity for visitors. Clear wayfinding helps visitors find their destination and navigate to the entry.

KidZooU Donor Recognition

Gecko Group designed and developed the donor recognition program for Philadelphia Zoo’s groundbreaking KidZooU experience. The donor program consisted of a comprehensive donor wall as well many individual donor signs scattered throughout the exhibit. The design approach took cues from the interpretation using shapes, colors, and icons to ensure the donor solution was integrated with the exhibit.

Leopard Forest

Leopard Forest includes new habitats for species new to the Nashville Zoo, including Amur leopards, colobus & DeBrazza’s monkeys, as well as tiny antelopes called klipspringers. These brand-new exhibit elements were paired with updates to the surrounding Africa exhibit, resulting in a new cohesive exhibit experience called Africa: Living in Balance.
