What's New

Excellence in Exhibition
As a subcontractor to Amaze Design, Wondercabinet's Neal Mayer designed the Sensing Chicago family gallery at the Chicago History museum. This exhibit won an honorable mention in the Excellence in Exhibition competition sponsored by the American Association of Museums. A photo of the exhibit's Chicago Hot Dog is featured on the cover of the Fall 2007 issue of Exhibitionist, the journal of the National Association for Museum Exhibition.

Making the List
The Boston Globe featured the Bunker Hill Monument and Museum as one (OK, technically two) of the 10 Things Not To Miss in December.

NPS Faneuil Hall Visitor Center
Wondercabinet recently met with representatives of the Boston National Historical Park, an urban park of the National Park Service, to kick-off the development of a new visitor center, to be located in the historic Faneuil Hall. For this project, we're working with architects Einhorn Yaffee Prescott, the same firm we've been working with on another BNHP visitor center, at the Charlestown Navy Yard.

New England Museum Association Conference
At the NEMA conference in Portland, Maine, Wondercabinet exhibited in the exhibit hall, displaying the lovely models Neal built of the Agmazing! exhibit at the Children's Discovery Museum and the Battle exhibit at the Bunker Hill Museum. Sari chaired a session entitled "Something Old is New Again." This session was about reinterpreting historic collections while maintaining some or all of the historic elements and the historic nature of the collection displays.

The Designers are Coming! The Designers are Coming!
Since we just can't get enough of the Freedom Trail sites, we're excited to be working with Fennick McCredie Architecture on a project at the Paul Revere House. As the exhibit consultants to the architectural Master Plan, we're adding our expertise and guidance to the plans for expanding the site.

A Decisive Day
There was pomp and a whole lot of circumstance. At the official opening for the new Bunker Hill Museum, the National Park Service and Wondercabinet teams were joined by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, Revolutionary War re-enactors, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts and the Freemasons, brotherly descendents of the Sons of Liberty.

Front Page News
The Boston Globe featured a front page article about the new Bunker Hill Museum we designed. That's Neal up on the ladder.

Tellus Science Museum
Wondercabinet is designing the hands-on science gallery My Big Backyard for the new Tellus Science Museum in Georgia. A collaboration with the project fabricator MurphyCatton, My Big Backyard brings science home, letting kids explore the science of our everyday lives, with interactives on magnetism, electricity, light, sound, machines, weather and life science.
