Museum Display Cases: Mound House Case Study

Museum display cases are usually a fairly straightforward project for us, but the casework for Mound House in Estero Island, FL, was the type of project that required a good bit of creative critical thinking. Our team often faces challenges; that is when the ADM Two staff really shines. We excel at problem solving and on-the-fly solutions, so we are always up for a project that requires a bit more thought.

Building museum display cases around the existing graphics was our challenge.

The graphics for the exhibit were already in place, so we had to create museum display cases based around the existing layout of those graphics. This made our customization a bit trickier than usual. The factor that made the job really unusual was the fact that the Mound House is a historical building, so the very old structure is not level. We had to take this element into account in our measurements and planning. The final exhibit ended up looking great, and we had another happy client.
