ThemeWorks worked closely with Design & Production to create an exhibit that would honor the proud history and tradition of the US Airborne and Special Forces. Working from historical references provided by the museum and our own reference library, ThemeWorks’ artists created full scale dioramas of various historic battles in which the Airborne & Special Forces played a key role. From the highly detailed scenes of an icy field from the Battle of the Bulge, to a war-torn French village, and a mission briefing tent in the Pacific Theater, our artists and muralists created realistically vivid environments against scenically painted backdrops to create a truly immersive experience for the visitor.
