Visitor experience, interpretive, exhibit, public program, and collections planning.


Feasibility studies with operational scenarios that help to find a sustainable business model.


Pre-design architectural planning including site analysis, and capital cost estimating.


Coordination of the work of specialist planning consultants including interpretive planners, visitor studies professionals, architects, exhibit designers, economists, and retail, branding, and marketing consultants.


Project management assistance including selection of architects and exhibit designers, architectural plan review, budgeting and expense control, and fundraising coordination.
