"I Have Sampled This Life"
Glass title wall entices museum goers with a welcoming
view of this 1,500 square foot orientation exhibit, adjacent
to Mark Twain's House, from the Great Hall. Over 100-foot
long background mural showcases places where significant
events in his life occurred. Passport stamp interactive
creates a log of the places the visitor has visited within
the exhibit. Interpretive panels give the onlookers quotations
and scenes from his life and literature. Proto fabricated
artifact cases which were strategically positioned in front
of these specialized graphics. Proto fabricated a "Listen
to it" area, where the visitors sit back and listen
to his writings. Conservation cases were built from materials
and finishes, consistent with Green Technology, to house
personal belongings, books, and letters.
