Project Description

Jamestown Settlement Main Gallery 

The Jamestown Settlement Main Gallery Refresh for the Jamestown Yorktown Foundation was a 13,000-square-foot renovation of the first-floor exhibit gallery, introducing new artifact displays, updated interpretive content, and two immersive theaters. The signature “Bacon’s Rebellion” Theater is a fully isolated, one-of-a-kind 4-D, multi-sensory experience featuring multi-plane projection screens, custom seating, advanced audio/visual systems, atmospheric effects, and integrated mechanical and electrical systems concealed within the structure. A second Government Theater presents a film on Jamestown’s early governance, while a reimagined tobacco and trade exhibit includes a large interactive multi-monitor table supported by extensive under-slab power and data infrastructure. The project also encompassed lighting, HVAC upgrades, exposed ductwork, flooring, acoustic treatments, fire suppression, microclimate display cases, stadium seating, automated doors, and custom millwork to house newly acquired international artifacts.
