Origin Studios is pleased to announce a new project with the Dawson City Museum in Yukon Territory. The museum is renewing their permanent exhibition to get more of their collection on the gallery floor and provide more interpretation for their wonderfully varied artifacts. Origin is providing interpretation and exhibit design services, and also redesigning the museum staff’s office space.
Origin Studios’ meeting with the museum’s exhibit development team in early February was a great success. As we discovered on this trip, the Gold Rush looms large in the town’s landscape, but it is ultimately dwarfed by the land itself. There are many interesting and important stories in the Klondike and we look forward to working with the Dawson City Museum to tell them to their visitors. And we also look forward to returning to this historic and beautiful corner of Canada later this year to experience the midnight sun!
