The Jennings Museum was established in 1963 by Dr. Gustav Jeeninga, professor of religious studies and archaeology at Anderson University for more than thirty years. The museum’s holdings include original artifacts from the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Israelite periods of the ancient Near East. Objects in the collection span four thousand years of the history of the ancient Levant, a region including the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan.
The museum was redesigned in early 2020, and I contributed to the layout and aesthetics of the space as well as designing the didactics throughout. This design project includes text and layout heavy case tags to identify each object, as well as larger didactics providing information over an entire region.
