Creating an immersive exhibition space that brings Shakespeare to life
The Folger Shakespeare Library Exhibition Hall project transformed a traditional library space into a world-class exhibition venue that combines cutting-edge museum technology with intimate spaces for experiencing rare materials from the world's largest Shakespeare collection.
Landmark Logix managed this complex renovation that required creating state-of-the-art environmental controls to protect priceless artifacts while providing an engaging visitor experience. The project included installing advanced lighting systems, climate control, security infrastructure, and interactive digital displays—all within the constraints of a historic 1932 building.
The new exhibition hall features flexible gallery spaces that can accommodate rotating exhibitions, permanent collection displays, and special programming. Advanced conservation technology ensures artifacts are displayed safely while multimedia elements create an immersive storytelling environment.
