“How Water Built the West”

The Roybal Corporation provided exhibit design and fabrication services for the Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center. In a period of just over two months, The Roybal Corporation transformed an empty building into a museum with nineteen exhibits, an audio-visual theater, and a diorama of local plants and animals interspersed with depictions of Wyoming recreation and industry.

Our team provided the following:

  • Creation of original artwork
  • Production of life-size graphic cutouts
  • Fabrication of wood cabinetry
  • Fabrication of plastic cases and coverings for artifacts
  • Creation of a diorama above a 7-foot-high audio-visual theater, including procurement of plants and several hundred pounds of rocks from adjacent hills
  • Installation of computer, touchscreen, and audio-visual equipment
