You Are Here!📍

Connecting visitors with the diverse communities that have shaped the Fox River Valley, the "You Are Here" exhibit at the History Museum at the Castle explores the dynamic relationship we all share with our community’s past, present, and future.

We are honored to have collaborated with The History Museum at the Castle to develop an exhibit that will shape how people experience and interpret the history of the Fox River Valley for generations to come.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

At Split Rock Studios, sustainability is at the core of our work, from expert craftsmanship to the meaningful stories we help share.

🛠️ Sustainable exhibits are exhibits designed and built to last. We craft durable exhibits that stand the test of time (and countless visitor interactions), reducing the need to replace and rebuild.

♻️ With extensive experience in LEED, Living Building Challenge, and MN B3 certified projects, our team is ready to guide you through the exhibit process and help you achieve your sustainability goals.

🌳 We believe one of the most sustainable things an exhibit can do is inspire change. By creating personal connections between visitors and the places they explore, exhibits can have a lasting impact and encourage guests to help care for our planet!

How does your organization promote sustainability in the work that you do?

Connection & community🎭

In a kid-sized town, children at the Great River Children's Museum can role-play in an exhibit that celebrates the diversity of Central Minnesota.

Put on a performance in the theater, mail a package worldwide at the post office, shop for produce at the farmer's market, and dine at the global café with food from the many immigrant communities that call St. Cloud home.

Completed in collaboration with Haizlip Studios.
