Our Work

Our Capabilities

Curatorial Services: With LvH’s unique partnership of two professionals with lifetimes involved in maritime studies, the firm has the capabilities to augment a client’s own in-house curatorial talents with research, interpretation, artifact selection, and text development for virtually any maritime-related exhibit.

Exhibit Design: The partners and associates of LvH hold degrees in architecture, management /engineering, and interior design, and approach the design of exhibits in much the same way as they would approach the design of a building: Exhibits begin with schematic designs that are developed into detailed fabrication drawings. Our professional background allows LvH to coordinate efficaciously exhibit design with the architectural challenges of a project through clear communication with the architectural and engineering professionals managing the project.

Graphic Design: With over a decade experience in marketing and graphic design, LvH provides graphic design services in the development of exhibits as well as promotional materials and web sites. From large scale banners to exacting text, LvH can prepare compelling graphic elements using a broad range of materials and processes. Easy-to-read, engaging, and durable graphics are our goal.

Multi-Media Design and Development: With a principal hailing from the field of filmmaking, LvH has the talents to develop interactive audio and video experiences, large screen video walls, ambient audio programming, and individual interactive elements. LvH is also capable of producing video productions for small theater environments.

Fabrication/Installation: The associates at LvH are a team of skilled craftspeople who combine years of fabrication experience with cutting edge manufacturing technology to create beautifully finished and robust exhibits. The same team responsible for building the exhibits installs the exhibits. Each project culminates in a review and punch list with LvH’s architect and client, and the delivery of maintenance and user instruction manuals
