You do the important work of preserving and advocating for our shared heritage. MuseWork wants to help provide your community with an opportunity to be amazed, entertained and enlightened. We are committed to supporting your educational mission with exhibits that are purposely playful — encouraging inquiry and engagement. Our goal is for each viewer to cultivate a personal connection with your story, to feel inspired to ask questions, learn more and keep the conversation going.

Aside from research and interpretation, she will keep your project moving forward successfully, on schedule and on budget.

Our Work

Our Portfolio of Projects

From small, cultural and historic city and county museum exhibits to mobile, high-tech exhibits for urban children, we have been fortunate to have worked on a large variety of projects. Be sure to take a look at the short video featuring a few of the projects we've worked on together to see how our visions come to life, but feel free to contact us if you're looking for something specific.

Janet Cook, Harrison County Historical Museum

Our guests loved the exhibits and were amazed by the the quality. Thank you for helping us reach of goal of having one of the best small history museums in Texas.

Sarah Richards, Colorado River Alliance

I just have to say how much I ADORE both of you! You are really knocking this out of the park and we are all extremely grateful for it. Your dedication, determination and overall fantastic-ness just cannot be beat. Thank you, thank you, a million times — thank you!

What We Do

Our Services

We’ve been there. Having a decade of experience sitting on both sides of the process, we understand how to make client collaboration successful. Our process is open and accessible so that we can best utilize your expertise and keep everything running on schedule. You know your audiences, your collection and your story. We know how to pull it all together.

Project Management

MuseWork provides attentive project management to make sure each exhibition is a success. We establish a one-on-one working partnership with each client to set shared goals and keep them in site every step of the way.

Research

You are the expert on your content and your audience. You are our first and best source! When we need to know more, our team will delve into archives, scholarly journals and even work with local communities. We pride ourselves on uncovering the fascinating details that make your story come to life. When necessary, we conduct formative audience research studies to better understand the needs and interests of your target visitors.

Interpretation

The best exhibits don’t just tell you something—they ignite a spirit of inquiry. At MuseWork, we use the interpretive planning process to consider how best to inspire your audiences to want to learn more. Our process identifies overarching exhibit themes that become our scaffold for storytelling. We provide skillful interpretive planning so that each image, artifact, word and experience supports a compelling and cohesive narrative.

Conceptual Planning

If you are in the planning phase and looking for some ideas and conceptual designs to help you raise the funding for your next project, our professional conceptual planning services will provide you with a clear and concise document and visuals along with an associated cost.

Design Development

We offer interior and graphic design services for every facet of exhibit projects. From early conceptual sketches to build-ready files, our design team will wow you with their artistry and skill. Our skills in communication design get applied to every component of our projects, resulting in stunning visuals that speak volumes.

Media Production

MuseWork carefully plans and produces custom media, including short films, audio interactives, and touch-screen interactives for our exhibit projects. These media projects enhance the visitor experience by telling your story in new and engaging ways.

Fabrication & Installation

MuseWork carefully prepares all design files and then works with you — and your project budget — to select the best production, fabrication and installation sub-contractors suited for your project. Contact us for a list of our preferred vendors.
