Staten Island Heritage Museum - full logo
This set was meant to be a small local museum, and I researched a number of similar American heritage museums, such as the Richland Heritage Museum Foundation, the Heritage Museum of Montgomery County and so on. The costruction team built a number of plinths for larger plaques, as seen below. For those relating to the character of Nandor, the text came from the script, but for the additional plaques I wrote short paragraphs pertaining to each topic.

For the smaller plaques, I looked at what items had been sourced by the Set Dec team, and tried to match as closely to those as I was able, in case any were readable in the background of a shot.

The script also referenced a very old map of Staten Island (above), which I aged digitally first, before Scenic aged it practically, which you can see they did beautifully below.
