The
Result
R&P worked side-by-side with multiple levels of museum personnel to organize complex information into an exhibit that would dramatically change people’s understanding of Native American history. This project establishes a new path for the Museum where intellectual scholarship, collections, and design of the visitor experience work together to create a new understanding of very complex content. The exhibition won the 2016 AAM Award of Excellence in Exhibitions, a first for the Museum.
