Under contract to Art Guild, Inc., Lexington fabricated and installed several large scale elements in the Mount Vernon's new Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center scheduled to open this fall in Mount Vernon, Virginia. One of the more impressive elements Lexington created was the replica of the Federal Hall Building in which George Washington took the oath of office in 1789. This partial building replica stands at 19 feet high with gilted gold railings and a large burgundy Demask bunting draped across the facade. Lexington also designed a Pepper Ghost effect showing the dilemma Washington faced as our country's first leader - should he be a president or a king. Other elements included a replica of a Liberty pole, a period hogshead barrel, and tea pots made to withstand the wear and tear of an interactive museum experience. The Museum and Education Center will feature 23 gallery and theater experiences - each of them with interactive components, original artifacts, or engaging technology - that illuminate the detailed story of Washington's life, including his military and presidential careers.

The Museum of the Cherokee Indian is an encompassing natural environment with an extensive artifact collection.
Lexington designed and built forty cases that house Cherokee artifacts. More than twenty murals were created as backdrops for artifacts
and settings, the largest mural being 40' long and 14' tall. Some other elements include foliage, rockwork, sculptures and replicated Cherokee
architecture such as traditional dock housing and mud huts. Common items such as pottery and furniture were created for set dressing to be handled
safely and with durability by museum guests.
"We are very pleased with the products that Lexington designed and installed. I was very impressed by the craftsmanship and the pride that
their staff took in their work and the fact that they completed the work in 120 days when a more realistic time frame would have been 180 days.
The quality of their work is exceptional."

Located in Pasadena, CA, Kidspace Children's Museum opened in December 2004.
Kids dig, learn about fossils and the evolution of earthquakes, ride trikes, and climb 40 feet into the air on two indoor climbing
towers. Kidspace is the only Los Angeles-based museum committed to creating exhibits and programs that promote exploration,
investigation, and expression in young children.
Lexington designed and developed over 4,000 square feet of interior learning environments full of participatory hands on exhibits,
retail space and two acres of outdoor discovery elements. Interactive exhibits were created to enhance the principles of early
childhood education. A featured element of Kidspace is the spectacular broken glass and mirror Kaleidoscope portal where visitors
enter the Museum by walking through a passageway of stunning color, sound and light effect.
Iconic elements of Kidspace are the two climbing towers. As well as doing the technical design, engineering, fabrication and installation, Lexington worked with the City of Pasadena helping to write the approval code for these never-been-done-before exhibits.
"I truly appreciate all of your generous support and thank you for your efforts to make Kidspace such a wonderful destination for all of Southern California."
