The People Who Make an Exhibit
It takes many experts to make a cohesive, original, and meaningful exhibit experience.
We Need The Sea & The Sea Needs Me. Currently in development! Learn what goes into creating a new exhibit for LICM visitors. Hint: a lot of people and a lengthy process!
Saltwater Stories is a new permanent exhibit currently in development, and it will celebrate Long Island’s rich maritime history and culture.
Take a look behind the scenes while we develop this new exhibit. Like taking a long trip, there are many stops along the way from idea to installation. Sometimes, the process can take up to five years! Dive into what happened so far, from 2020 through Spring 2024.
It takes many experts to make a cohesive, original, and meaningful exhibit experience.
We visit places and dive into the history of artifacts to understand the human connection to the sea.
Drawing, prototyping, testing, and revision... the design process is an iterative one, building on concepts and changing as we learn.
Our education team is regularly testing new ideas for programs geared towards various ages to complement the new exhibit.
This project is made possible in part by:
