Museum Exhibits - Permanent and Traveling

It starts with the story... 

You have a story to tell. A story of history, families, individuals, community. 

How you tell that story is just as important as the story itself.  A story with well written text and interesting graphics that draw the reader in, engages them, will make them want to learn more.

At BT&D we understand how important the story is.  That is why when we design exhibits, we make sure the story flows in a clear, concise manner and the graphics complement and enhance that story.

From small displays to walk-through traveling exhibits, we have the expertise to make your exhibit a success.

Deep Roots - Green Future: City Planning in Elgin.

The Museum has used BT&D Graphics for the past nine years for major exhibits and  signage in the Museum lobby.

Bryan and Theresa are always helpful and creative! They suggest new graphic technologies, like the cling material that has worked wonders on the walls of the Museum, and help solve graphic challenges.

We always need oversize graphics and BT&D has no problem producing gigantic graphics that can be applied onto a variety of substrates. Their work is professional and perfect with no rough edges or crooked cuts, and the cost is reasonable.
