Background
Pulling from a large number of various artifacts, I designed the layouts of exhibit display cases with historical relevance, scientific accuracy, and story-telling in mind. I also researched and organised 300+ artifact reproductions in Google Sheets, maintaining and updating lists for each exhibit as the design evolved.
Design and Development
Working closely with the designers and producers at Imagine, I created layout and visitor journey concepts, maintained a catalogue of artifacts, and researched and sorted artifacts into appropriate display cases to support the story being told.
I then modeled display cases and representations of artifacts, so I could set them digitally, both in CAD and photoshop, and play with placement before arriving on site.
On Site Installation
When I arrived in Las Vegas I got to work organising and preparing artifacts for transport to the site, taking care to note any repairs or touch ups to be done prior to install.
I set and re-set each display case to finalise the design, and created mock ups and schematics for the installation team.
The Experience
The Discovering King Tut’s Tomb experience is open now! Check out the website here.
