Ravenswood Studio engineered, fabricated, and installed all exhibits at the 8,000 sq. ft. Chicago Sports Museum. The space is divided into several zones to accommodate the main themes of the museum like Measure Up, Forensic Sports, Sports Curses, and Chicago Sports Legends. Forensic Sports features x-rays of Sammy Sosa’s corked bat and Sports Curses has its own gothic gallery with an interactive that blows up the infamous
Bartman Ball. The museum has a nice balance of hands-on and digital interactive activities for visitors including a recreation of the broadcast booth where Harry Caray used to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Wrigley Field.
A flow had to be created to navigate each theme through zones that culminated in a large, open space. This space features five gestural interactives allowing visitors to experience baseball, football, basketball and hockey, and can be converted to event space for receptions and other events. We engineered locker displays and other cases that allow for easy changing of artifacts. We produced and installed all graphics, including many large super graphics that span 25 feet or more.
