Too often, when someone looks at a person with a visible skin condition, all they see is the surface. But there is so much more beyond the skin. Currently in development, our future traveling exhibition, “Look at Me. What Do You See? – This is Me. Let Me Help You See” will invite viewers to look deeper at the body's largest organ—both literally and figuratively.
Using the Magic Wall, an engaging, interactive multimedia technology, the exhibit will offer museum patrons a deeper understanding about the science of skin and raise awareness of a wide range of skin conditions.
The experience will highlight not only the physical aspects, but also the mental, emotional, and social impacts that skin conditions have on those who live with them every day.
Why It Matters
One in five children is impacted by a skin condition or birthmark, and that impact is much more than skin deep. Research has resoundingly demonstrated that there are social, emotional, developmental, and psychological challenges that occur when a child is learning to cope and develop with visibly different skin in a world that is obsessed with physical appearances.
To help create the world we envision, we must help others see more clearly. That is the goal of our traveling exhibition entitled, "Look at me. What do you see? - This is me. Let me help you see." When someone looks at a person with a skin condition, that is all they often see- what is on the surface. But there is much more than what is skin deep.
The exhibition uses highly interactive multimedia technology to allow viewers to take a deeper dive into our body's largest organ through our collaborative Magic Wall. We're all about skin education and raising awareness about all types of skin conditions, as well as the physical, mental, social, and emotional impacts they have on those who are living with them.
Inside the Exhibition
The Magic Wall Experience: Created by Made A Masterpiece and Brought to Life by Back & Rosta
The Magic Wall by Back & Rosta is a captivating, interactive video wall that transforms any public space into an immersive, educational environment. As a museum-grade touchscreen display, it functions both as a bold exhibition platform and an intuitive digital search tool. Uniquely designed to serve large groups simultaneously, the Magic Wall fosters meaningful engagement through movement, touch, and choice.
At the heart of this experience is Made A Masterpiece, who will use art, storytelling, and technology to elevate understanding of skin conditions and inspire self-acceptance. Through rich digital content, the Magic Wall becomes a powerful tool to:
-
Raise awareness about skin disease
-
Provide overviews of specific skin conditions
-
Demystify what skin disease is—and what it isn’t
-
Educate about the body’s largest organ: the skin
-
Dispel unconscious biases toward visible differences
-
Reduce stigma and misunderstanding around birthmarks and dermatological conditions
-
Encourage compassionate, informed interaction
-
Empower all individuals to love the skin they’re in
Using this patented Magic Wall software, Made a Masterpiece will bridge the gap between information and interaction focused on all facets of our body's largest organ, the skin, and what is often unseen and more than skin deep. Visitors can browse digital stories, explore artwork, watch videos, and access additional resources via QR codes—directly from their mobile devices. The functionality of this interactive communication tool is endless. See renderings and short clip of the vision.

Friends & Donors
The aims of the exhibition are to educate about our skin, raise awareness about skin conditions and demystify what they are are and what they are not, while dispelling unconscious biases about visible cutaneous differences and reducing stigma and misunderstanding about those who are living with skin conditions of all types. It will also provide a powerful vehicle for discussing ways of compassionate and kind interactions with others who have visible differences while empowering everyone to love the skin they are in.

Dream to Action
This exhibition is the brainchild of Dr. Alanna Bree, the Founder of Made A Masterpiece. As a pediatric dermatologist for 20 years, she witnessed how deeply children with skin conditions struggle — socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Determined to change this, she founded Made a Masterpiece.At the first Love The Skin You Are In event in 2016, she invited Rick Guidotti of Positive Exposure as the guest speaker. Their friendship has since led to powerful collaborations, including a photographic exhibition at The Health Museum in Houston, the FRAME film I Was Made A Masterpiece used to train future physicians, and a one-of-a-kind Fashion Show & Tell at Rick’s NYC gallery opening, which received national coverage on CBS This Morning. When their paths recently crossed again, Rick encouraged Dr, Bree to dream up a new collaboration, eager to support Made A Masterpiece and Dr. Bree’s vision. This project is that dream—now coming to life with the help of those committed to making the world better for people living with skin disease.
Our Masterpiece Exhibition is set to launch in The Health Museum in Houston, TX, in September 2026. It will travel to museums, hospitals, educational institutions, and galleries throughout the USA over 5 years, spending an average of 3-4 months at each site. While at the sites, there will be opportunities for educational activations with schools, clubs, community groups, and healthcare providers to provide a space for engaging activities and deeper dialogue.
