The Franklin Institute is a family destination and beloved landmark in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, featuring the latest visual technology to spectacularly display its 12 permanent exhibit galleries.
Serving as the gateway to the museum’s exhibits, the rotunda houses the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial featuring a marble statue of Benjamin Franklin surrounded by projected quotes and clips showcasing his many inventions and contributions to science. The highlight: “Ben Franklin Forever,” a 3.5-minute video presentation displayed on four of the rotunda walls, and now brightly illuminated with Barco’s PGWU-62L laser projectors.
The new projectors feature state-of-the-art Barco laser illumination technology, which is the most cost-effective solution for long-running commercial applications. With the projectors running a solid 10 hours per day, The Franklin Institute is recognizing tens of thousands of dollars saved per year, according to Advanced AV, the AV integrator on the project.
