Multiple uses of themed, faux finishes and architectural elements are found throughout the Law Enforcement Museum in Washington DC. Honoring the fallen, and telling the story of American law enforcement, the Museum features multiple interactive exhibits and displays.
Specifically, a themed fiberglass column was cladded, featuring weaponry used in law enforcement efforts. Prison cell doors were recreated to match those used from an actual prison in Virginia for visitors to experience true confinement of those accused or convicted. Precise sculpting was used to depict the damage caused on skulls from various assaults including, blunt force trauma, knife wounds and gunshot wounds.
The exhibits show the true cost and sacrifice of the otherwise unseen individuals who protect our society every day.
