Mark Lach –  Senior Vice President

From the Titanic wreck site at the bottom of ocean to the Vatican’s private museums and libraries to King Tut’s tomb in Egypt, Mark Lach has been inspired by unique settings to shape the way visitors experience some of the world’s most popular traveling exhibitions.As senior vice president, Lach is responsible for the design of Arts and Exhibitions International’s (AEI) portfolio of exhibitions. His work on two National Geographic King Tut exhibitions,

  Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs and Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs, has been critically acclaimed and seen by more than 9 million visitors during U.S. and European engagements since 2005. Perhaps his most demanding project to date, the exhibition design requires a delicate balance between theatrical elements and reverence of the ancient objects themselves. 

Lach also serves as creative director for Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship, Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt and America I AM: The African American Imprint, a historic touring exhibition mounted in partnership with broadcaster Tavis Smiley. 

Lach joined AEI in 2004 as the next step in a storied career spanning two decades as the creative force behind some of the most lauded traveling exhibitions in the world. Serving in executive capacities for SFX Exhibitions, Clear Channel Exhibitions and RMS Titanic, he spearheaded the design of more than 40 Titanic exhibitions that were viewed by more than 14 million people on four continents, and led creative development for Saint Peter and the Vatican: The Legacy of the Popes. 

Lach graduated from the University of South Florida.
