The Sequoyah Birthplace Museum, located in Vonore, TN, features a 4,000 sq. ft. exhibit featuring “The Story of Sequoyah”. This exhibit takes visitors on a tour of the life of Sequoyah, an illiterate Cherokee Silversmith who developed a written language for the Cherokee nation.
Color-Ad was responsible for the project management, fabrication, and installation of new exhibits at the Sequoyah Birthplace Museum to commemorate the life of Sequoyah and the impact his syllabary had for his people. We collaborated with the client and the designer to engineer and fabricate a variety of interactive, educational, and engaging exhibits for visitors of all ages.
Exhibit elements include two theaters, custom illustrations, lifecast figures, an audio description tour, tactile interactives, interpretive graphics of multiple formats including large wall murals, display objects, and historical reproductions.
