Lewisburg Children's Museum

About the Project

Lewisburg Children’s Museum is an interactive touch-and-play museum that was founded by a group of dedicated parents and educators to provide opportunities for children of all ages to learn, imagine, and play together. The museum resides within a former high school and delivers hands-on, enriching experiences in a safe and accessible environment. Each exhibit in the museum has a specific theme with whimsical, immersive murals.

The Challenge

The museum’s mission is to provide visitors with an interactive, hands-on experience. Therefore, walls had to be touchable, cleanable, and resistant to frequent impact. They also had to integrate with each exhibit’s story, with engaging artwork that seamlessly flowed from room to room. The museum features several large exhibits, including the agriculture room, which pays homage to local culture with barns, silos, and farm animals. The outer space room explores the unknown with detailed, high-resolution imagery of black holes, stars, and planets. The theater room has a roomy stage facing a city skyline, plus easels with art supplies.

The Solution

Five exhibits within the museum incorporated Acrovyn by Design murals to visually transform and protect walls. The museum opened to rave reactions from children and parents alike. “I did cartwheels the first time we came to the finished space,” said Ms. Remmey, vice president on the museum’s board of directors. “When we saw the first room with its wall covering, I almost cried. It didn’t look like a museum before Acrovyn by Design. This just brought it to life; it was a game changer.”
