The Imperial Tombs of China

The Imperial Tombs Exhibition, constructed for another Wonder Series exhibit held in Memphis, TN, was, for us, a truly exciting project. The artifacts displayed were numerous as is implied by the vast quantity of display cases shown in the following photographs.

Since the entire project duration was a mere 107 days, all of the theatrical elements were shop fabricated and finished. We provided early "hold dimensions" to the builder and then started the work in our shop. At the 75% mark and with the builder's general construction being complete, we went onsite and installed our pre-fabricated items. This parallel approach and early coordination is what allowed the total scope of our work to be completed on schedule.

The work consisted of faux effects on tomb walls; sewer pipes recreated roof tiles, and graphics highlighted the temple entrance.
