Exhibit Brief: Interpreting a city's historic train station

Launching an exhibit is a process. It involves inventorying artifacts and sourcing images, researching oral and written sources and crafting copy, creating a logo and "look and feel." All along the way, the client must be empowered to advance their brand and goals. In this installment of Exhibit Brief, we look behind-the-scenes at how Backstory and Vulcan Park and Museum navigated this process during the build-out of an exhibit on Birmingham, Alabama's historic train depot.
