Making Modernity, Chemical Heritage Foundation

Making Modernity is a permanent exhibit at the heart of a new museum that serves both the public and scientists. Installed within the historic First National Bank building, the design team seamlessly integrated the architecture and the exhibits. Evocative of a high-tech laboratory, it features a series of thematic stories spanning from the age of alchemy to modern-day material science and nanotechnology.
