MacroArt was asked to assist with developing a fresh new visitor experience for Colchester Castle’s ‘Decoding the Dead’ exhibition to help bring 2000-year-old stories back to life.
The exhibition is sited in a Grade I listed building, which presented a number of technical and creative challenges for our clients and us.
The historically important nature of the room meant that no wall fixings were permitted, so the entire framework had to be freestanding. In addition, the client requested that it be easy to erect, take down and reuse for future exhibitions. A bespoke system of rails, brackets and hanging kits was created to ensure that they could be displayed effectively without compromising the reusable backdrop. This allowed all the exhibition graphics to be mounted effectively, whilst keeping the overall framework pristine and ready for future reuse.
In all, a 2-day installation saw almost 100m2 of panels and graphics fitted to help inform and guide visitors through the exhibition, including self-adhesive vinyl prints, label captions for the showcases, TFS entrance banners, and prints.
