Level 4 ExhibitsGong workshop, Shakuhachi, Martin Guitar, Fender and Steinway PianoMusical Instrument Museum
In early 2009, Amy Meadows joined the MIM team as a design consultant for several Level 4 exhibits.Working from initial concepts created by Gallagher and Associates, Amy and her team sought to further the theatricality of the presentation while maintaining the curatorial and academic rigor. Each exhibit presented a unique, specific aspect of the instrument-- production, performance and instruction influenced the design decisions for the individual displays.

Shakuhachi Research PhotosFrom rock n roll arenas to a traditional Japanese home . . .the exhibit for the Shakuhachi flute needed to represent both the domestic interior (for instruction) and the exterior (for performance). Using rice paper, shoji screens and tatami flooring, this split-screen view was successfullyexecuted on the smallest of all the Level 4 platforms.
Shakuhachi
Martin Guitar Workshop
Steinway Piano WorkshopEach of the preceding Level 4 workshops required extensive attention to detail in the selection of materials and the authentic recreation of a specific environment. However, we wished to create a unique point of view for the Steinway exhibitmuch of what makes the Steinway piano unique is inside. So,we turned it inside out!
