Museum Workshops Information

We are often asked when it is the right time to bring a museum designer onto a project. Our answer is simple: as soon as possible and, of course, if funding allows. You may also want to think about this to double-check the process you have undergone so far. Is your design project going in the right direction? Have you overlooked any obvious elements? This small investment in employing an experienced professional can save you time and unnecessary expenses.

Additionally, our workshops focus on your team to ensure everyone is on the right path and singing from the same hymn sheet. Moreover, we guide and motivate while bringing parties together in agreement on the best way forward for your museum project. Consequently, our museum workshops offer flexible and tailored guidance.

We all know that sometimes you can be just a little too close to a project and not see the wood for the trees. With this in mind, we approach the task of designing a museum exhibition from a different direction than the in-house staff. Furthermore, with a vast amount of experience, we have crossed many of the same bridges the novice will only encounter for the first time as they travel through the museum exhibition design process. Therefore, getting some of these elements wrong can be a very costly exercise or, at best, be a real disappointment on the big opening day.

We comprehend the intricacy of a successful museum visitor experience. Therefore we offer museum staff our unique museum workshop ideas, which take you through each step of the design process. These museum workshops have proven successful and are highly praised by museums and the NHLF (National Lottery Heritage Fund), previously known as HLF.

During the workshops, we use simple models to assist in the design process. This helps museum staff understand the overall design layouts, storylines, information, and interpretation. To accommodate this extra demand, our museum designers have again, for the ninth year running, increased the museum workshop capacity. This increase means there are now more days available. Therefore, it makes it easier to accommodate the museum staff’s existing commitments.

Additionally, we run our museum workshops at your location, thus making them very flexible. They accommodate all interested parties within the museum’s organisation and shareholders alike. At the end of the museum workshops, the entire team is united by a common goal. Furthermore, everyone knows exactly what their part will be in the delivery process. After you have used our museum design workshop delivery method, you will wonder why anyone would design a museum any other way!
