The National World War II Museum in New Orleans, designed by Gallagher & Associates, was recently ranked #4 in TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards. Unified Field (New York City) collaborated with G&A to create the interactive experiences within the Campaigns of Courage Pavilion.
Direct Embed played a pivotal role in the development of panels for the new Gerald Ford Presidential Library & Museum in Grand Rapids, Mich. The museum renovation was designed by Gallagher & Associates and produced and installed by Xibitz.
We wouldn't dare pretend that this is a definitive list, but it is a list of the projects that the top exhibit designers see as influential and important projects that have helped to push the area of exhibition design forward. The breadth of projects that were submitted was amazing.

Leslie is the co-founder of SEGD’s XLab annual conference and is an independent consultant specializing in wayfinding technologies. Her clients include the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, New York University Langone Medical Center, and MD Anderson Cancer Center.
