The Problem
The Western Heritage Museum wanted to help visitors understand the historical and cultural impact of the Manhattan Project, but traditional exhibits often presented the topic in static or overly technical ways. The complexity of the subject made it difficult to balance scientific innovation with the human stories behind the dawn of the atomic age, and to encourage reflection on its lasting consequences.
The Solution
Our team designed an immersive, interactive timeline that invites visitors to explore pivotal moments in atomic history. Through archival films, interactive maps, and multimedia storytelling, the exhibit reveals the complexity of the Manhattan Project and its profound influence on New Mexico and the world. Thoughtfully crafted and accessible, Prometheus in the Desert transforms a difficult subject into an engaging, reflective experience that connects the past to ongoing conversations about science, ethics, and humanity.
