Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Missoula, Montana Exhibit Size: 2,550 square feet Services Performed: Exhibit Design, Exhibit Fabrication, Dioramas, Mural Painting, Graphics, Sculptures, Interactive Engineering, and Installation The showpiece of the new Elk Foundation complex in Missoula is the Elk Country Visitor Center, a rustic, lodge-themed shrine to wildness, with exhibits designed by Split Rock Studios to entertain and educate a broad audience of visiting hunters, conservationists, tourists and travelers. Using high- and low-tech hands-on exhibits that appeal to all ages, the center introduces visitors to different elk habitats, and demonstrates how elk, and all creatures of the northern Rockies, including humans, need a variety of habitats to survive. From the Discovering Elk Diorama with its 12 foot high, 47 foot long hand-painted panorama, to the touchable (and sniffable) replicated natural objects, from the computer interactives to the recreated hunting cabin, the exhibits demonstrate the contributions made by hunter-conservationists to habitat and wildlife protection world-wide.
