The Wyck-Strickland Award honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the cultural life of Philadelphia through work that reflects a drive for progress and modernity with a sensitivity to the past.

Play encourages exploration and innovation. It challenges us to expand our thinking. And it helps us understand how end-users will experience and engage with others in a space.

This exhibit provides an immersive experience that places children and families in Colonial America/Philadelphia in the 1770s. Historic landmarks in Philadelphia’s “Old City” served as inspiration for the exhibit’s look/feel, exhibit components, and story line. 

Our founder, Alan Metcalfe, who – in one quick bite – will explain what inspires his designs.

A message from Alan and Aaron about our expanding leadership team.

Kelsey Stellar (née Lind) “loves the idea of thinking in that third dimension – designing in the space of people’s experiences” for both the cultural and healthcare sectors here at Metcalfe.
