Creating the exhibition

The room is ready – time to put the exhibition together.

Remember the objects we chose? As they arrive we check them and make any alterations, eg put pictures in frames. Then they are moved to the gallery.

We put our exhibits on the walls and in display cases, following the plans made by the designer. All of the pieces are delicate and some are large or heavy so need careful handling.

Around the gallery we put information and photos. Wall panels are hung so everyone can see them - if the exhibition is for children we’ll hang them a bit lower.

This is delicate work so we should leave the staff, or you could help with the display panels.
