We just finished an install at The Alamo Sacristy. Here is a Time-lapse video with a peak of the final product.

Here is what The Alamo is saying about the exhibit: "This historic reopening of the Sacristy, featuring an immersive experience showcasing what the frescoes looked like during the Mission Era. Through media projections and soundscape, visitors will experience the serenity and reverence of a church service, the chaos and fear as families hid for their lives during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, and the awe and wonder of modern-day conservators discovering the vibrant art that once adorned the walls.

Explus is proud of its work with Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service on the traveling "Girlhood (It's Complicated)" Exhibition.

Developed by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), “Girlhood” originally opened at the NMAH during the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and was on view Oct. 9, 2020–Jan. 2, 2022. The exhibition was supported by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative, the precursor of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.

Girls are made of strong stuff and they’ve been on the front lines of change throughout American history. Girlhood explores the diversity of girls’ experiences and girls have impacted American history. SITES | SA encourages host venues to expand the exhibition by weaving in their collections and local history. Minnetrista developed two local focused sections: Right Here (right now) which focuses on modern stories of girlhood in East Central Indiana, and Nearby History (the local connection), which draw on local stories of girls from Minnetrista's Heritage Collection.



The exhibition will travel to three additional museums during a nearly two-year national tour: among them Cincinnati Museum Center, a Smithsonian Affiliate—Oct. 12–Jan. 14, 2024, and Minnesota History Center, St. Paul—Aug. 31, 2024–March 16, 2025.

We recently went to Windsor, VT to update a section of the American Precision Museum. The building is said to be the first U.S. factory at which precision interchangeable parts were made, with a focus on guns, giving birth to the precision machine tool industry. Construction of the factory that houses the museum began in 1846. A "machine tool" is a machine which makes parts to other machines, such as screws or gun stocks. Lathes, milling machines, and drill presses are examples of precision machine tools. The museum has the largest collection of historically significant machine tools in the United States. We fabricated a display case and graphics that show the benefits of having interchangeable parts, including a couple of backlit window graphics.

The Jim Crow Museum: Hateful Things Traveling Exhibit, which will be located at GRPM (Grand Rapids Public Museum) is a powerful educational resource that teaches about the history of racism and segregation in America.

As we continue to work towards creating a more just and equitable society, it is important to acknowledge and learn from the injustices of the past. As we move forward, let us remember the past and strive towards a future where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect regardless of race, gender, or other identities. The project will be located at GRPM (Grand Rapids Public Museum) 272 Pearl St NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504 in Summer 2023.
