Project description:
- Part of the Race to the End of the Earth exhibit by the American
Museum of Natural History
- Conservation approved exhibitry cases to hold historical artifacts
- Project duration: 6 weeks- design, 4 weeks-fabrication
- Fabrication Budget: $14K
These two custom cases were designed with the same parameters but on a very
different scale. Working with AMNH conservators to determine the proper micro
climate, each case meets the rigorous standards that the museum upholds for any
piece of exhibitry that holds an accessioned or loaned object. Security and aesthetic
concerns were also taken into account.

Project Description
Candlestick Case:
Integrated into a label deck, this case allows visitors to get up close to an artifact from
the Scott-Amundsen South Pole race. In some ways, it is trickier to present a small
object than a large object. If something is small does not mean it does not deserve
attention, but it can easily be over-looked. This candlestick holder, made by a member
of Scott’s team, is held in a small micro-climate case that is mounted to a handrail.
Behind the rail is a diorama of a flock of emperor penguins that were encountered by
the English team during their exhibition. To weave this story of bravery, we presented
a historical recreation with an object from the original event.

Project Description
Transportation Case:
This is one of the largest cases in any
travelling AMNH exhibition. At 13’x 3’
x 7’high, this case is too large to travel
without breaking down. It is a difficult
puzzle to build an airtight box that can
be taken apart down to its component
pieces and re-assembled repeatedly. The
aluminum tube frame, and medite and
acrylic walls create a secure and steady
environment to hold one of the sledges
that Robert Falcon Scott took to the
South Pole.
