The Museum of American Heritage
Exhibition graphics were developed in collaboration with the Museum of American Heritage to support and enhance the museum’s mission of preserving and interpreting everyday American history.
Design Work
Over several years, visual systems and exhibit graphics were designed for the museum’s four most recent exhibitions. Each exhibition required a careful balance of clarity, accessibility, and historical accuracy. The design approach emphasized intuitive layouts and interpretive hierarchy, guiding visitors through complex narratives while allowing artifacts to remain the primary focus.
