Anti-seismic devices

Whether or not earthquakes and tremors are a concern, anti-seismic devices will have a role to play. Visitors within the museum and passing traffic could both, in small ways, be affecting the stability of an object.

We use a variety of structural techniques and installed devices to protect from shock, and we look at three different levels of absorption: the building’s underlying structure, the structure of the display case, and the individual mount.

Vibrations of any kind can be a serious worry, which is why we’ve always invested so heavily in this aspect of conservation. It's part of our ongoing commitment to furthering our knowledge and meeting the very specific challenges that museums face.

Conservation

We've spent decades developing our knowledge and know-how, and collaborating with the very best research institutions. But on every new project we still spend time understanding exactly what we're dealing with.

Security

The need to protect from theft and vandalism is "safekeeping" in its most immediate sense. As the last line of defence, your display case must be up to the job.

Lighting

Getting your lighting right is crucial, and we never underestimate its importance. It determines how a visitor perceives, understands and interprets what they see.

Interior Fittings

Interior fittings fulfil their purpose quietly, even invisibly. They shouldn’t draw attention to themselves. But that doesn’t mean we don’t spend time and effort getting them just right.
