British Museum - Vases & Volcanoes

In the following major exhibition for The Britsh Museum, Minale Tattersfield's exhibition designers created and designed the layout, the interior architecture, the showcases and the displays for the private collection of Sir William Hamilton.

Sir William Hamilton’s collection, was formed whilst he was the ambassador in Naples during the 18th century. The collection included objects from the ancient past, Greek and Roman, as well as natural specimens from the slopes of Mt Vesuvius. The exhibition bought together this substantial collection as a celebration of the period and the life and times of Sir William.

The visitor was transported back into the period of the 'Grand Tour' with the staging of the exihibition in a setting of 18th century interior design, using architectural forms, detailing and colours evocative of the period.
