Christie projection technology has been deployed at the new Montana Heritage Center in the USA as part of an immersive museum AV system designed and integrated by Electrosonic.
The 150,000 sq ft museum and cultural destination uses projection, LED displays, interactive touchpoints, spatial audio, motion sensing and storytelling to present Montana’s history
from its earliest peoples to the present day.
Christie Captiva and GS Series 1DLP projectors are used across key exhibit spaces, delivering imagery that
helps transform galleries into responsive environments shaped by visitor movement and interaction.
The museum includes multimedia exhibits focused on Montana’s sovereign nations, a simulated mine
environment exploring mining history, and projection-led soundscapes that bring historic events and landscapes into the visitor experience.
One of the key spaces is Washington
Way, an immersive entrance environment that combines projection, LED pillars and a luminous ceiling to lead visitors into the Homeland Gallery.
Throughout the museum, Christie
projection works alongside LED displays, audio systems and interactive technologies to support a connected storytelling experience.
The Heritage Center’s integrated technology infrastructure also allows
content to be updated and expanded over time, supporting new stories and perspectives as the museum evolves.
Electrosonic served as audiovisual design and integration firm
for the project, working with RLMG, Main Street Design, Available Light, Cinnabar, Cushing Terrell, Sletten Construction and Christie.
Alex Westerh, vice president of marketing
at Electrosonic, said: “The Montana Heritage Center demonstrates how technology can deepen engagement with history and culture when it's thoughtfully integrated into the visitor experience.”
