We transformed the 9,000 SF space into a two-story gallery that features over 500 artifacts spanning two centuries of scientific breakthroughs and innovation, including treasures such as Benjamin Franklin’s Glass Armonica, Thomas Edison’s light bulbs and other inventions, and wing models from the Wright Brothers Aeronautic Collection.
The main level features the Baldwin atop a new custom cutaway floor, revealing the steel and concrete bridge structures supporting this engineering marvel. Surrounding the locomotive, newly designed visible storage bays rise from a new collections and research center on the foundation level, offering a rare glimpse into artifacts never before on public display. The Hamilton Collections Gallery’s inaugural exhibit, 200 Stories for 200 Years, showcases a curated selection of objects to celebrate the museum’s 200th anniversary. We are honored to be part of this landmark project.
