The Company

Eisterhold Associates Inc. (EAI) is an exhibit planning and design firm in Kansas City, Missouri, that develops and delivers culturally significant exhibits of national caliber.

We are a national, collaborative, interdisciplinary, creative team made up of industrial designers, graphic designers, architects, researchers, content developers, programmers, planners, and thinkers who strive to create unforgettable experiences—to transform, not simply educate. We generate surprise, excitement, and play—appealing to the lighter side, when possible, to enlighten and enliven the visitor experience. Notable projects include the Rosa Parks Museum, the August Wilson Center, National Museum of the U.S. Army, National Museum of the Marine Corps, and the National Civil Rights Museum.
