Proto Productions; Your Concept

Client: Field Museum of Natural History
"Families at Work: Strategies for Rearing Young"

Proto Productions fabricated this 2,500 square foot exhibition which included twenty-three conservation and microclimate controlled exhibit cases. Each case contained a silica gel ballast chamber to maintain the relative humidity in the case interior between 45% and 55%. Wood case interiors were sealed to prevent off gassing of compounds harmful to the artifacts. Additionally a large children's activity area was fabricated, including oak benches which were constructed to withstand heavy use by children.
