Science Museum of Virginia
Bioscape: A Journey Through Life
RICHMOND, VA
New life for the Science Museum of Virginia required a master plan, a new identity and the total renovation of the historic railroad station in which it is housed. Next, it needed a highly successful inaugural exhibition. Bioscape explores life processes on molecular, human and global scales. Visitors can fly through a super-sized cell, check out how the human body works, and discover planet-wide biodiversity.
