A Closer Look at Our Origins

Visitors at the Museum of the American Revolution

Project Overview

Bluecadet has been the Museum of the American Revolution’s partner in all things digital for over a decade. Along their journey from concept to brick-and-mortar museum, we designed a logo, a website, fundraising materials, and an award-winning educational app.

The culmination of our work together is a suite of permanent exhibit interactives for the new, fully-realized museum.

They reveal the hidden stories of the War: from the under-told experiences of freed and enslaved African Americans who fought on both sides to the unseen nicks and graffiti adorning soldier’s weapons.
