Our senior designer Graham Simpson left Minale Tattersfield in 1993 to work full time as an exhibition designer at the British Museum and worked there for five years. He later rejoined Minale Tattersfield where he now leads our team of interior designers. Graham says, “Working for one of the world’s major museums for five years has added immeasurably experience in the processes and management skills required when working with priceless works of art and cultural heritage”.In the following major exhibition Graham and his team designed the layout, the interior architecture, the showcases and the displays.
The Parthenon Gallery comprises two separate rooms providing an introduction to the Parthenon. One room displays original stone fragments with an AV presentation on the construction methods including a realistic walk-through of the interior. There is a full size reconstruction of one corner of the Parthenon, using one of the original stone columns.
The second room is specially designed to accommodate disabled visitors, employing a number of hands on sensory experiences to explain the design of the frieze and the building’s decorative details. A special graphic system was developed to provide visually impaired visitors the opportunity to understand the detail of the perimeter frieze, parts of which they can touch.
