I designed interpretive wall panels for Nybelwyck Hall, a permanent installation at Glenview, Hudson River Museum. Nybelwyck Hall is an elaborately constructed dollhouse created by Mark O'Banks and gifted to the museum in 2006, housing the fictional Van Nybelwyck family across 24 rooms spanning four stories. The panels were designed to update and improve the existing interpretive materials for the installation, developed in the visual style of the museum's documentation of the piece. I coordinated with Linda Locke, Publication Director, throughout the project.

Scope of Work

  • Design of interpretive wall panels for a permanent installation.
  • Image preparation for print and digital use.

Environment

These materials were designed for installation in and around the physical space of the exhibition. In all cases I coordinated with the producer to ensure quality and accuracy.

Introductory Wall Panel

A large introductory text panel was designed to be mounted at the entrance of the exhibition.
