Museum staff and volunteers worked alongside professional consultants, designers, conservators, mount makers and fit out contractors to reimagine the museum space and displays.

Conservation support included advice & assessments in planning, development and installation, liaison with specialists to balance care for collection items with design vision, monitoring of the collection whilst in storage, training and support for volunteers and remedial treatment of natural history, archaeology, geology and social history items.

The final displays are breath-taking and the pride of all those involved.
