Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship," a new exhibit organized by National Geographic and Arts and Exhibitions International (AEI) LLC, tells the compelling story of the Whydah, a real pirate ship that began as a slave ship, and the stories of the diverse people whose lives converged on the vessel. This exhibition marks the only time genuine artifacts excavated from the first fully-authenticated pirate ship ever discovered in American waters, have been on display on a national scale. The development of initial concept sketches into a working traveling exhibition was achieved in five-months! Lexington design/built this 15,000 sf. traveling exhibition which features a 1,200 sf replica of the Whydah which visitors enter and travel through the hull, captain’s quarters, main deck, and below deck. All these areas are propped with fabricated replicas of items found with the recovered vessel, and through historic illustrations and research Click the above image to view the gallery.    Client:    Arts and Exhibitions, Inc        Work Performed:    Technical design and fabrication through    installation.    Design:    Mark Lach & Tom Fricker Lexington technically designed and built the immersive interiors, numerous state-of-the-art hands-on interactive exhibits, reading rails and all graphics for Toyota’s Highway to the Future: Mobile Hybrid Experience in a highly compressed two-month schedule. During this 18-month campaign the two identical 50-ft x 25-ft trailers travel separately to more than 150 events including state fairs, auto shows, museums, environmental gatherings and other venues. Visitors to the trailers will be able to interact with digital exhibits on how hybrid vehicles operate, the technology's benefit to the environment and how alternative fuels such as ethanol can help reduce harmful emissions.

With the use of real brains and interactive technology as tools, this exhibit allows the guest to delve into the inner workings of the brain, including its processes, and mysteries. This exhibit opened to the public at the Smithsonian Institute in July 2001 and will travel for over five years to 15 different science centers throughout the United States. "Brain continues to pack 'em in. And people are genuinely interested in the subject matter. So much so that Smithsonian can hardly keep the brochure shelves stocked. No one anticipated that level of interest." Peter Radetsky Content Developer Evergreen Exhibitions "This is an exciting educational experience that parents will want to share with their children. From the moment visitors walk into the exhibit, right through the electrical workings of a re-created functioning brain, they will be amazed by this groundbreaking presentation of important scientific information."

The interactive kiosks, hands-on activities, and interesting environments encourage people of all ages to learn more about this fascinating topic. This exhibit opened at the Smithsonian Institute in June 2003. It will travel for over 5 years to Science Centers throughout the United States. Lexington did the technical design and fabrication for all of Genome's numerous interactive exhibits. We also created the scenic facades, display cases, kiosks, and graphics as well as the unique traveling carts that transported the exhibition on its journey around the United States. "The cart and transport system you developed for the Giant Double Helix is nothing less than ingenious... Thanks for a job well done!"

It illustrates what they look like, the history of disease, and how research is helping to find cures and save lives. This exhibit travels for over 5 years to 15 different science centers throughout the United States. "The purpose of the exhibit - to tell the history of viruses and how they affected history, and show how viruses, germs, and bacteria act in today's world - could have been boring and even uncomfortable [but] with Lexington's creative approach, both 'good' and 'bad' bacteria are presented through entertaining and educational 3-D shows and sculpture, games, virtual reality, and interactive exhibits."

Two of the same exhibitions were created to travel for over five years to over thirty different science and natural history centers throughout the United States and Canada. "Welcome to a wild exhibit where mechanical marvels make science a picnic." National Geographic World "Robot Zoo is cool! Our visitors are enjoying everything about it - the title, creatures, the natural history facts, and the many interactives. It is also pulling in parents and younger kids which broadens our audience and is a definite plus."
