I collaborated with the talented exhibit designers at Roto on the Reimagined Nauticus to create a 12x20-foot mural map for the Our Port exhibit. The map highlights Norfolk’s 20+ maritime entities—naval bases, shipyards, tunnels, and more—that work together to keep one of the nation’s busiest ports running. Through strategic use of color and intricate detail, the mural brings this complex network to life for visitors.

This Veterans Day, we honor the service and sacrifices of our nation’s heroes. We are proud to continue to preserve and share their stories through our most recent work at the National Museum of Military Vehicles. These cases highlight the bravery and dedication of our veterans through a special collection of uniforms and artifacts. Each item in these cases tells a story of courage and commitment to protecting our nation’s freedom. #veterans #veteransday #militarymuseum #collections #exhibitdesign #designbuild #casework

I am the last. After the designers design, the fabricators fabricate, the cases are closed, the graphics up and the lights lit, and after the dozens of talented individuals who create these beautiful museums are done, I am the last to be called. I create, excuse the pun, "last-ing” images. So, call me last, that's OK. www.jayrosenblatt.com. Projects shown are by Roto, Amaze, Jack Rouse and Assoc., D&P, Gallagher & Assoc., Chadborne & Assoc., Reich & Petch.

We had a phenomenal time hosting the Atlanta History Center team at Roto to share a sneak peek of their new interactive children’s exhibit as it comes to life right on our production floor. Set to open in January 2025, this multisensory exhibit will offer AHC guests a unique way to experience their city through immersive play, exploration, and storytelling. We can’t wait to share the final exhibits! #clientvisit #evaluation #exhibit #exhibitdesign #designbuild #historymuseum #atlanta
