It may be a little state, but not when it comes to grand opening signs in Maine! Seeped in history, the northernmost state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States, Maine is the twelfth smallest state by area. But don't let the Pine Tree State fool you, Maine is a leader in many ways. For example, in museums! Boasting 270+ museums in an area that's 210 miles long! With exhibitions opening and going on all the time, you bet Maine has the art of exhibit first openings down to a science. Whether an opening exhibit at the Bangor Museum and Center for History in Bangor, or the George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History in Bar Harbor, the grand opening supplies should embellish the museums and encourage walk-ins. CeremonialSupplies.com is an expert provider of grand opening supplies and items and we offer pre-packaged grand opening kits to make your event launch - a new business location, a new museum exhibit, or any inauguration, a memorable occasion that will be long remembered! Here's a list of items that are necessary for all museum exhibit openings, and how to shop for them at CeremonialSupplies.com.
The first thing we think of when we hear grand opening is a big red sign, and for a reason. Grand opening signs are usually in red, or yellow because our eye-brain signal system detects these colors first! Even for a museum, when a new exhibit is going to be presented, the flags waving outside are usually in these colors. This brings us to the most important item in a grand opening: the grand opening sign. At CeremonialSupplies.com we have a wide variety and several different styles of banners and signs for grand openings. For permanent signs that are hung outside the museums, the best solution is to use soft-vinyl vertical banners that are sturdier than cloth, to keep the message visible at all times. Our banners are available in many sizes, including horizontal and vertical views. We also have the capability of creating ribbon banners that are up to 12" wide. These are suitable for smaller size building entrances, such as The Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, a two-story corner building with a glass-windowed front. The nationally recognized museum hosts a permanent collection by the great American artists, Andrew Wyeth, and Jamie Wyeth. Exhibit opening signs for this style of museum would best be served by the wide, ribbon banners, printed vertically, and which yield several signs, depending on the yardage. Items such as red carpet and stanchions are also a big part of an exhibit's grand opening, and since the Farnsworth Art Museum has a contemporary style, either classic stanchions or retractable belt stanchions would fit the decor adequately.
The ultra modern glass structure of the Colby College Museum of Art, in Waterville, Maine, calls for a different style of grand opening sign altogether! The structure itself providing an enormous canvas for hanging mural size banners from the inside for a dramatic perspective, as well as utilizing either soft vinyl, or ribbon banners of small sizes to decorate posts within the college campus. The kind of carpet best suited for an exhibit grand opening for this building would be a large, event carpet a-la Academy Awards, and retractable belt stanchions with information plates.
Exhibit banners in the more classic and temple-like style of the Bowdoin College Museum orf Art in Brunswick, Maine in the traditional vertical flag style would be the ideal ones to use with this size building and its architecture. To maintain form, these should be in the soft-vinyl fabric, printed vertically. Classic stanchions and velvet rope with a plush event carpet aisle runner would be absolutely stunning and certain to see quite the crowds! The Bowdoin College Museum of Art houses one of the most fascinating ancient reliefs in the world - carved at the request of Assyrian King Ashurnasipal in the sixth century, these reliefs came to Bowdoin through an alumni from the class of 1855! Another type of museum architecture where classic gold stanchions and rope and traditional red carpet would be perfect for an exhibit inauguration is the Castle Tucker historic mansion in Wiscasset, Maine where history and artifacts of late 19th century historic New England are housed. Hanging vinyl banners, either vertically or horizontally, made of waterproof material, will suit this museum perfectly!
Whether for classic architectural style historical or art museums, or one such as the Center for Moosehead History and Moosehead Aviation Museum, in Greenville, Maine, which is a wooden big house structure that houses vintage aircraft and memorabilia of the region's aviators as well as items of Native American influence, there is no better place online to get the perfect exhibit grand opening banners, stanchions and rope, and red carpet (or any other color carpet!) than CeremonialSupplies.com.
