“A new way to engage with the natural and cultural sciences,” says Seattle Magazine about the new Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. In 2014 the Burke Museum tapped Evidence Design to realize the visitor experience for an entirely new natural history museum model that reveals its work to the public. We can’t wait to celebrate the Burke’s opening this October 12th.

  • Northwest Native Art Gallery: This dynamic gallery celebrates the breadth and depth of artistic mastery in the Northwest by featuring historical works embedded in centuries of cultural practice alongside contemporary pieces that expand on traditions and explore the practices and politics of today.

The Seattle Times published some fun behind-the-scenes photos of a new installation at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. The work, titled “Synecdoche,” is by artist RYAN! Feddersen of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. It’s part of the Burke’s transformation celebrating nature and the culture of the Pacific Northwest.

Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) posted an article on our collaboration with Unified Field to create the traveling exhibition “Dogs! A Science Tail.”

 “Unified Field worked closely with exhibition design firm Evidence Design and the California Science Center to be certain that the experiences communicated their mission and to ensure that all media matched the style, intention and objectives of the overall exhibition. The California Science Center contracted with Evidence Design to develop the look and feel and final design of the exhibition; after developing the overall vision and educational messaging for the exhibit, California Science Center worked closely with the Evidence Design team to develop the graphic style, over-arching illustration style, wall graphics and interactive experiences through an iterative process. Unified Field then interpreted the styles of the graphic identity system and illustration styles into their animations and experiences from dogs, and wolves to cave people and contemporary veterinarians.”

Unified Field was an amazing interactive studio partner and we look forward to more projects with them.

VIDEO: Unified Field created a fun video to show off some unique exhibits and interactive features in “Dogs! A Science Tail.”

“Through films, soundscapes and digital interactives, guests can experience what it’s like to see, hear like a dog, and learn how dogs communicate.“

Some howling good coverage of “Dogs! A Science Tail” by NBC4 Los Angeles – KNBC.

“…there’s no need to woof nor howl if you feel as though your life could use more Fido-style learning and Lassie-fun facts…”

“How did ‘one of the most successful interspecies partnerships of all time’ develop? The exhibit tells the story in an engaging way for both adults and young visitor alike.”

Crosscut, an independent, non-profit electronic journal serving the Pacific-Northwest, posted this lovely article on the development of the New Burke.

The new 110,000 sq. ft. museum will blur traditional lines between labs, collections and public gallery spaces towards a destination that invites the public to share the knowledge and activities of scientists and ethnologists, and celebrates the nature and culture of the Pacific Northwest. This daring paradigm is being tested internally by the Burke’s staff through their temporary exhibit: Testing, Testing 1,2,3. Evidence Design is incorporating the knowledge and feedback gathered by this effort to further inform final design.  We are incredibly appreciative of the work and dedication of our collaborators at the Burke!

DOGS! A Science Tail made an appearance at this year’s ASTC Conference. Evidence Design is finishing up the final details for this new 7,000 square foot traveling exhibition for the California Science Center. Numerous volunteers attended the ASTC booth, including a physically-challenged woman with her service dog, who displayed videos of the amazing tasks her furry companion does for her on a daily basis. Partner Shari Berman enjoyed a conference break with the adorable service dogs.

The progress continues at an impressive pace… the New Burke now has soaring multi-story windows and beautiful wood siding. We can’t wait to see these spaces filled with art, artifacts, Burke staff and guests buzzing with activity and joy. See the most recent images and video on the Burke’s construction web page.

In January, EVD took our first hard hat tour of the New Burke. At that point, one could literally “see through the walls.” It was very exciting to navigate the columns, studs, rebar, and newly poured cement in the emerging building, although it took a lot of imagination to understand what goes where!

During our April Workshop we took a second walk through the new museum building – it’s come a long way in three months! Now you can really appreciate the gallery spaces, floor-through skylights, and views from various windows.

This year, we are especially grateful for our profession.

We celebrate our colleagues in the museum world who work tirelessly to promote dialogue, knowledge, creativity and compassion in their communities.

May the new year bring you peace and joy.

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County was recently profiled on Treasures of New York, a local PBS documentary series.  The episode features interviews with educators and survivors with whom we collaborated to create the small but powerful core exhibition, one of Evidence Design’s earliest projects. It is wonderful to see the Center thriving with robust programming and new artifacts that provide visceral evidence of the horrific events of the Holocaust. We congratulate the HMTC on its continued efforts to combat prejudice and intolerance and are very proud to have played a role in this important work. The episode may be found on the PBS Website.
