Museum Exhibits

Archeo~Arts hasworked with some of the world’s finest aquarists, paleontologists and scientists to create world-class museum exhibits on two continents.  We can bring original concepts from design to installation or work with your staff and designers to enhance existing exhibits.

Originally intended to be up for only 8 to 12 months, this exciting exhibit was held over an additional 2 years because of overwhelming popular demand. In addition to bringing the original idea, Archeo~Arts director, Terri Haag, hand-built the Devonian Diorama, and all but one life-model.  As Art Director for the project, Haag worked closely with Two Oceans Aquarium staff and sub-contractors to design the dry exhibits, write and oversee signage, and create the over-all look.

FossilStories was a permanent museum exhibition showcasing South African Permian mammal-like reptiles with an emphasis on how paleontologists find and prepare fossils then decipher the information they contain.

AsProject Manager and Art Director, Archeo~Arts was responsible for styling and displaying all fossils, models and graphic elements; designing and styling each display case; writing or editing all text and copy; producing all signage; acquiring and producing numerous large-format graphic elements; and directing Iziko staff and sub-contractors.

 

Sharkworld was written, styled and installed by SWH Design Partners, a collaboration between Hoffman Wentzel, Raymond Smith and Terri Haag, under the oversight of Dr. Leonard Compagno, the world's foremost shark expert.
