The South Florida Science Center & Aquarium underwent a massive expansion, renovation and rebranding project in 2013.
While discussing a recent project I was asked to give “an insider’s peek into how a museum exhibit goes from concept to an interactive display”. Well, it is like a cooking show but in reverse.

Two weeks ago we started work on the custom aluminum railing for the South Florida Science Museum’s Science on a Sphere exhibit. Last week …

Early last week Marc LeFrance joined the AST team as Lead Exhibit Carpenter for the SFSM project. Marc has an extensive background in all aspects of exhibit construction. His recent work includes exhibits for the Naples Depot Museum, Kennedy …
