KEVA MUSEUM EXHIBITS

The fusion of Art and Science

“The KEVA exhibit is always a huge hit whenever we put it in

the gallery - it’s very popular.”

We couldn’t have
said it better
ourselves.
“My step-daughter and I
recently visited the KEVA
exhibit at the Turtle Bay
Museum in Redding. Bella
(age 8) is generally more
captivated by Barbie dolls and
X-Box games than building
blocks, so I expected we
would breeze through the
exhibit in record time.
However, we were both
captivated by the exhibit and
the opportunity to build with
KEVA Planks. Bella went
straight for the big chests of
planks while I became
fascinated with the displays of
KEVA buildings, bridges and
towers.
It was a quiet evening at the
museum, there was classical
music playing in the room and
our experience building
together was peaceful and
magical. In a fast paced
world saturated with
technology I really
appreciated the simplicity of
the KEVA Planks. Thanks for
a fun, engaging, timeless
activity that allows us to enjoy
unplugged time with our
family.”

Reasons to host the KEVA exhibit
Stealth Learning
As children conceive of a project and strive to build it, they must solve many
physics challenges using principles of balance, cantilevers, geometric shapes,
optimum proportion, stability and more. They must think in three dimensions
while problem solving. Because they are focused on their project and having so
much fun, they do not even realize how much they are learning. A typical
project is inherently filled with small experiments that slyly transform intangible
concepts into working tools of the trade.
Versatility
From a 5000 foot
headline exhibit to a play
table in the corner, the
KEVA Exhibit can be as
large or as small as you
choose. Use it as a
secondary exhibit when
not headlining…use it for
school programs (we
provide an excellent
curriculum/activity guide)
…liven up your Easy parent /child interaction
fundraising events with Parents rarely resist the draw of the KEVA
building contests…use it Planks. Most parents immediately find
for day camps. You will themselves on the floor building , playing
think of even more ways and collaborating with their children. Moms,
to use KEVA Planks in Dads and grandparents find conversation is
your programs. easy as they discuss building plans, new
ideas, words of admiration and
encouragement. Working side by side
builds relationships.
 Spectacular possibilities
How high is your ceiling? The
construction and demolition of
large structures is always a crowd
pleaser. Tall towers are fun and
easy to build. Someone on your
staff would love this assignment.

How do they work?

Every KEVA plank is the same. No
sorting, no glue, no Connectors- just
simple stacking. Children and adults
already know how to stack things, so the
creativity and experimentation begin with
very little instruction. The simplicity is
compelling.

“Just a few more

minutes…”

World Record Tower 51 ft 8 in.

People spend a lot of time in the
KEVA Exhibit. Visitors take
ownership of their KEVA creations;
they often plant themselves in the
KEVA room and won’t leave until
their masterpiece is complete. An
extended period of concentration
and total immersion in the activity is
the typical experience with KEVA.
This sets us apart from most other
exhibits- even exhibits costing
thousands more. Our simplicity is
truly engaging.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

LEONARDO DAVINCI

Artistic Scientists and Scientific Artists

We have blended an art gallery and a science lab to create a beautiful place to design
and invent. The KEVA exhibit gently nudges scientific minds toward art and artistic minds
toward science. To complete a sculpture an artist may need to overcome various
physics challenges. The engineer who builds a tall tower may want to explore ways to
make it more interesting or attractive.
“My family and I visited the Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, CA last
summer and fell in love with the KEVA exhibit.”
Teachers Enthralled
“I am a third grade teacher in Lebanon,“The KEVA exhibit was fantastic and the “We first saw KEVA planks at the local
TN. We went on a field trip to the
Discovery Center in Murfreesboro
where I, along with most of the third they talked about how fascinating the
graders, was enthralled by the KEVA
blocks. These are great!”

Cool enough for teens
“I'm 16 and I messed around with the
building blocks at a children’s museum
for hours. It was one of the coolest
things ever!”

FREE Exhibit?
Not really, but… The KEVA Exhibit is designed to be
purchased at a price that is comparable to many rentals. After
the first showing, all repeat runs can be considered to be free.
Some museums have covered the cost of the exhibit by the
brisk sales in the gift shop. The exhibit stows compactly when
not in use. Never again worry about a gap in your schedule or
a shortfall in your budget. You will always be prepared with a
top quality exhibit when you need it.
Please contact us to discuss the
possibilities for your museum.
