Happy New Year from the Ideum team! We want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our journey. We wish you and your loved ones happiness, health, and moments of joy that will carry you into the new year. We’re also thrilled to share that this year marks Ideum's 25th year in business! It’s an important milestone, and we couldn’t have reached it without you. Stay tuned for updates as we celebrate this exciting chapter in our history. Thank you for being an integral part of our 25-year story.

Earlier this year, a reporter from KOAT 7, an Albuquerque news channel, visited the Ideum studios for KOAT’s “Made in New Mexico” item. The news item features our on-site workshop, fabrication studio, and usability lab, and interviews with our producers about some of our past and current projects.

Over the past week, the Ideum team has been on-site at the Battleship Missouri Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i, for the first phase of installing the Pathway to Peace: USS Missouri’s World War II Experience exhibit. During this phase, we completed the installation of the interior exhibit walls and A/V systems in the Second Deck exhibit space. We're excited with the progress made this week and look forward to our return in April 2025 for the second installation phase. The exhibit is set to open on September 2, 2025, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

As part of the Pathway to Peace: USS Missouri’s World War II Experience exhibit at the Battleship Missouri Memorial, we had the extraordinary privilege of recording interviews with two of the eight remaining known witnesses to the Formal Surrender Ceremony aboard the USS Missouri. Last month, our teams traveled to Lake Providence, Louisiana, to meet Mr. Lee Broussard, a former member of Admiral William Halsey’s flagstaff. Mr. Broussard was temporarily stationed aboard the Missouri during the war's final days. From Louisiana, we traveled to South Kingstown, Rhode Island, to interview Mr. John DeLeo, who served as a Yeoman aboard the USS Missouri throughout its World War II service. The recorded interviews will complement the interview with Mr. Ed Buffman, captured earlier this year, as part of an interactive interview station featured in the exhibit. The exhibit is set to open on September 2, 2025, marking the 80th anniversary of the war’s end. #pathwaytopeace #pathwaytoeighty #exhibitdesign #ussmissouri #battleshipmissourimemorial #pearlharborhistoricsites

We’re thrilled to share that Ideum was recently awarded first place in the Interior Exhibit Category at the National Association for Interpretation (NAI) awards for the Dueling Dinosaurs exhibition! The interactive exhibits are the result of over 2 years of collaboration between Ideum and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, bringing visitors up close to an extraordinary one-of-a-kind paleontological discovery—two dinosaur skeletons frozen in what appears to be a combat scene from millions of years ago.

Yesterday we had the honor of attending the Veteran’s Day commemoration at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. This Veteran’s Day ceremony also marked the opening of the new Fighting for the Right to Fight: African American Experiences in World War II exhibit. The exhibit highlights the “Double Victory” campaign, in which African Americans fought against fascism abroad and for equality at home. We are honored to tell this story in collaboration with the National WWII Museum and StoryFile.
