Located in Minneapolis, Spark is a 1,500 square foot permanent gallery that celebrates the intersection of innovation and inspiration through the lens of medical technology and science fiction. Through a series of creative, collaborative interactives and thought-provoking experiences, the exhibit challenges visitors to, “find their spark and change the world.”

The project also required a dramatic architectural centerpiece, an icon mounted high in the museum’s new entry tower. A swirling sphere of dichroic lenses casts colored light throughout the surrounding landscape.
