The Harris
Redevelopment of the history galleries at the Grade I listed Harris Museum & Art Gallery in Preston
-
After completing a CMP at the Grade I listed Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, we were engaged to carry out the redevelopment of its history galleries.
-
-
The history gallery redevelopment sees the architecture of the gallery spaces revealed and restored, and a new permanent exhibition created.
A mezzanine floor was removed to reveal the full spatial quality of the gallery and features, such as the exquisitely detailed radiators that have been conserved.
The new exhibition re-displays key artefacts from the museum and, with the architecture of the gallery, creates a coherent and attractive space. The history galleries connect the visitor to the collections, building and city in a fully accessible new gallery in the heart of the museum.
