Martha's Vineyard Museum
6 new galleries
The Martha’s Vineyard Museum was originally known as the Dukes County Historical Society. It was founded in 1922 and incorporated the following year. In recent time, the museum realized the need for better collection storage, improved access, and more space for exhibitions and public programming. To solve this concern, the Museum purchased the former 1895 Marine Hospital in Vineyard Haven in 2011. EXP developed, designed and produced the interpretive mission, all exhibition design and media design, and fabricated and installed a six-gallery experience in a now renovated and expanded building. Opened in March 2019, it is a jewel of the Island and is sure to reach thousands of guests annually.

Battleship Cove
America's Fleet Museum
As America’s Fleet Museum, Battleship Cove is an extraordinary place to discover naval military history.It spans a large site and has objects and artifacts both in museum buildings and on the water, thereby enabling battleships and submarines to serve as museums themselves.Heavily visited, Battleship Cove recognized a lack of interpretation and engagement in 2016. We came on board to frame the experience, develop an interpretive plan and to implement the plan. This involved extensive front-end visitor research, exhibit design, media design, wayfinding, multimedia development and installation, and collections integration. We completed this project in 2017.
