Washington on the Brazos

Washington on the Brazos, a 293-acre state historical site northwest of Houston overseen by the Texas Historical Commission, underwent a major renovation that includes a three-screen museum exhibit and lobby video wall which incorporates LED video technology from SNA Displays.

The multi-screen museum display in the John L. Nau, III visitor center engages guests with a three-and-a-half-minute video that highlights key moments in the story of Texas’ fight for independence. This story is told using video content that appears to be a moving oil painting characterized with vivid colors.

Main LED Video Exhibit

The museum exhibit consists of three 1.9 mm BRILLIANT™ Interior displays with integrated “invisible” speakers. The main screen is approximately 25 feet tall and 13’9” wide (3,978 x 2,184 pixels), with the display’s top coming to an apex reminiscent of the prairie style building of Independence Hall. The two displays on either side of the main screen measure 15’6” tall x 13’ wide (2,457 x 2,080).

Lobby Video Wall

SNA Displays also manufactured a 1.2 mm BRILLIANT™ Interior video wall for the visitor center’s lobby. The 2’3” tall x 9’10” wide (540 x 2,400) display advertises special events and other attractions on the property. The four displays process more than 20 million pixels across approximately 750 square feet of digital canvas.

Museum exhibit creators Design & Production Inc. oversaw the renovations and expansions to the visitor center. Creative firm G&A, who also developed the museum exhibits at the World Heritage Center in San Antonio, oversaw creative conceptualization and art direction, along with film creative development, visual design concept, and script writing. Cycymymy provided media design development and production services along with final animation for the creative content.
