Central Atrium Display

A technically innovative display in the Museum's central courtyard space highlighting the range, history and diversity of the NMM's collection. The main challenge of the display was to ensure stable environmental and optimum viewing conditions within a massive, glass-ceilinged space with widely fluctuating temperatures and direct sunlight for most of the year.
