As well as the galleries, which form a major part of the Royal Museum Project, Beck will also work on the spectacular object wall in the Grand Gallery. The wall will rise the full four-storey, 18-metre height of the Gallery and comprise two panels, each 13 metres in width. In total it will hold nearly 1,000 items from our collections.
Formed in 1995, Beck Interiors Ltd have previously worked on major museum developments including Leeds City Museum, The Great North Museum, Summerlee Heritage Park, Ulster Museum and international projects such as Bahrain National Monument, Hong Kong Wetland Park and Jordan Children’s Museum.
The fit-out will include flooring, walling, electrical distribution and preparing the new galleries for object installation. It will also encompass showcases, graphics, plinths for objects and over 100 mechanical, audiovisual and computer based interactives.
