Exhibit Development
& Design
Our exhibit development and design process transforms an idea into an experience focused on your visitors.
Understory understands the importance of developing exhibits for visitors. We craft narratives with clear themes and create opportunities for engagement for an array of learning styles. Throughout the process, we adhere to our values of community collaboration, craft, and inclusion.
Calling all Small Museums!
Build experiences centered on your audience with our Visitor Evaluation and Collections Services.
We believe that museums’ exhibits and collections should reflect their communities. But, it can be hard for small organizations to meet this evolving need. Understory offers a fresh perspective and simple offerings to keep your community in mind:
Basic visitor evaluation — Gain a better understanding of who your visitor is, what they care about, and how your exhibits can engage them.
Collections support — Organize and evolve your collections to reflect your community, vision, and stories, whether for an individual exhibit or entire museum.
