EXHIBITION DESIGN, PRODUCTION & STRATEGY

World-class guest and visitor experiences
for the museum and cultural heritage sectors.

Connecting story to strategy, and design to production.

The key is simple: keep the quality of the guest experience at the center of everything.

We leverage our lived experience as leaders in the cultural heritage sector to collaborate with our clients as peers, and consider aspects like the total cost of ownership, sustainability, and inclusivity, as well as a great experience.

Our creative leadership served in top-level roles at premier cultural institutions, including the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, the Adler Planetarium, and the Obama Presidential Center. But the breadth of Bridgewater Studio’s experience spans a variety of leisure time formats. We draw upon this multi-faceted background to bring more than conventional museum design to the conversation.

More Than an Exhibition Design Company.

this-is-now

A successful exhibit isn’t just about the final result. It’s about coming together as a team from the very beginning of a project to push creative boundaries, solve technical challenges, streamline workflows, and bring joy to the entire process. It’s about doing whatever it takes to deliver extraordinary results every step of the way.

That’s why we own the entire project life cycle—and why you deserve nothing less.
