Thursday, September 5, 2019 1:00 PM by Taylor Studios in Design and Planning

Are you a small museum or nature center looking for an inexpensive way to add new professional-quality exhibits to your space? Are you an interpretive site wanting to add fresh, up-to-date exhibit components without having to pay for an entire redesign? Are you frustrated with the lack of affordable options from outside firms and sick of having to create your own DIY exhibits?
Shave Your Alpaca offers an off-the-shelf museum-grade display system for museums, interpretive centers, nature centers, state parks, and more. Created especially for those sites that want a customizable display system without the costly or lengthy commitment of renovating their entire exhibit space.

How does it work? You choose standardized (but semi-customizable) exhibit pieces. You can buy one, two, or however many fit in your space (and in your budget!). Then, add and upgrade at your leisure. The exhibit pieces can be updated, expanded, altered, and placed together with other exhibit pieces in an endless array of configurations.
Select between three base components – a reader rail, tabletop exhibit, or interior kiosk. Then, select your options, which range from monitors to display cases to hands-on interactives. For tabletop exhibits, select from a topographical map, a diorama, an area to display tactile objects, or a light-up map activated by push buttons. Interior kiosks come in both a large and a small size, and they can be configured in various ways.

Finally, due to popular demand, we also offer a crawl-through log exhibit and an activity table. Visitors young and old enjoy venturing into Taylor Studios’ crawl-through logs at nature centers around the country, as they provide a fun and engaging way for children to learn about nature. Activity tables are also popular at sites with a lot of hands-on objects and artifacts. They include ample storage space and shelving alongside a large flat surface for play.
No other firm in the industry offers options of this caliber for the price point. Tradeshow firms and art-display merchants offer only flimsy, temporary display systems that don’t hold up in a museum environment that requires exhibits to last for years and sustain the interaction of thousands of visitors. We guarantee not only a low price, but also unmatched strength and durability.
