Laurel Museum, 2017 Exhibit

February 7, 2017 by Richard Friend

Complete pro bono branding and exhibition design for the Laurel Museum’s 2017 exhibition, “Laurel’s WWI: From Here to Over There.” The exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entry into World War I, and allows visitors to learn little-known history about how the war impacted Laurel—life stories of the men and women from Laurel who served in the war, and how the establishment of Camp Laurel and Camp Meade impacted the town.

Laurel Museum: Diven’s Den

March 5, 2016 by Richard Friend

I was asked to design panels and other environmental graphics for the Laurel Museum’s “Diven’s Den” makeover, located in basement of museum. The new space utilizes universal design to create a multi-generational hands-on learning space, which incorporates STEM principles to teach Laurel’s history. Diven Iron Foundry, once located off Main Street, was unique in creating original and artistic household items. The design was provided pro bono, as is all my work for the Laurel Historical Society.
