Around 1990, technology began to change to accomodate a new direction for the museum industry, where an interest in more visitor participation had began. No longer was the "display case" mentality good enough. Museum and science center directors around the country began to rethink how they wanted to present all this new technology and presentation possibilities now available to entice the public to a totally new way of viewing their exhibits. Creative Display Installation was fortunate to be involved in this fledgling new direction of "environmental immersion exhibits" museums would take into the new millennium. Following are a few of the projects that CDI has built, supervised, and installed.
