California: State of Nature Exhibit

Ready for a revamp in 2024, the west hall in San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences transformed into a new exhibit titled California: State of Nature. This fantastic permanent exhibit highlights the diversity of California’s ecosystems. From marine environments to urban wildlife to redwood forests, iconic California environments are presented in a unique and engaging way. The display is a culmination of efforts from several different parties. JMP participated in the permanent exhibit fabrication by engineering and installing the overhead marine mammal skeleton cascade, installing a new suspended strut system for the exhibit lighting and wayfinding banners, and providing the life sized flora and fauna representations seen throughout the exhibit. The new exhibit opened in May of 2024, and we encourage you to come see it in person. As always, it was a pleasure to collaborate with the Academy, and we look forward to our next project together.
