Our unique approach takes into consideration the art, context, and setting of each project and applies our expertise with design, materials, production technology and installation to every execution. Whatever the exhibit or installation, BarkerBlue can help distinguish your engagement and create a singular experience that will be remembered long after the exhibition is over.

The best museum displays complement and serve as an extension of the exhibit. With backgrounds in a range of creative fields, our professional production staff has the unique ability to create immersive experiences that inform and direct while honoring the artist’s intent and vision. Our exhaustive, multistep sourcing and QC processes ensure the colors and quality matches the catalog regardless of the reproduction size or materials.

We only use professional installers with specialized training and experience with museum exhibits. Every installation is planned and carried out in close coordination with our project managers and production staff, ensuring all work is completed on time with minimal impact to your schedule, traffic flow and infrastructure.

WHY BARKERBLUE FOR MUSEUM DISPLAYS
Trusted
Experience
Exhibit by exhibit, we’ve earned the trust of some of the world’s most important cultural institutions in the Bay Area and beyond, like the SF MOMA, Oakland Museum of CA, Contemporary Jewish Museum, and Cal Academy of Sciences, to deliver on their vision of an immersive experience that enriches and celebrates the work on display. Now you can put that experience to work for you.
Unique Mix of Creativity and Technical Expertise
Our combination of a deep expertise in display technology and materials with an artist’s willingness to innovate and experiment allow us to get the most out of every environment. It’s led us to invest heavily in new technologies like our 6-color HP flatbed printer and play with unusual materials, like reflective film, to create unique displays that complement and extend your vision for the show.
Professional Project Management
Planning and managing an exhibition display campaign can be incredibly complex with multiple moving parts, deliverables and teams to coordinate. Our professional project managers can step into any situation and provide your design and exhibit team with the expertise and support it needs to maximize their time and capabilities and deliver the best experience possible.
