Case Study: Science Storms, The Chicago Museum of Science & Industry
Science Storms, the single largest interactive exhibit in the museum’s history, allows museum patrons to access chemistry and physics through dramatic natural phenomena. The TWT Group has been involved since the earliest stages of conceptual design and was instrumental in developing the experiment lists and designing the 62 exhibits. The TWT Group continued to support the detailed design and construction phases as well as installation supervision through opening day of the Science Storms exhibits.
