The Steps of the Museum Exhibit Design Process

The Museum Design Approach

The primary step in our museum methodology entails scheduling a consultation meeting with the client(s) to assess the objectives of all projects and obtain a comprehensive understanding of their visions and expectations. Our expert museum design team is adept at gathering all the essential information and existing resources, giving us a solid foundation to create exceptional museum experiences.

Next, a museum feasibility study takes place. We present a detailed feasibility study that delivers a market strategy and financial analysis such as expenditures, insights and projections. Designers, architects, the board of directors and management all significantly benefit from the guidance presented in this study. For more details, please contact our team.

With a cross-disciplinary team of experts, we conceptualise contemporary museum exhibit design ideas that formulate a solid and tailored strategy. Moreover, by developing interpretation and audience engagement, our team has produced renowned museum exhibit concept designs.

These conceptual designs outline and display a precise impression of individual spaces where stories develop. We ensure that all of the main content of the design assignment (visitor flow, museum graphics, artefacts, interactive museum displays, etc.) is clearly illustrated and described.

We thereby introduce an unmistakable vision of what will be shown in the completed museum exhibit design project.

It’s vital to integrate (where possible) all sustainable museum design elements into the museum exhibition design process as early as possible. Furthermore, as museum designers, we have a duty of care to ensure our designs and guidelines are environmentally compliant. Through extensive research, we adopt innovative green initiatives, standards, and technologies from across the globe.

An in-depth design breakdown is produced in an Excel spreadsheet to assess and calculate the client’s financial requirements.

The following step is to examine and analyse which contractor provides the “greatest value” for the museum design enterprise. The greatest value relates to the compromise between quality, time, and expenditure. This does not always mean the lowest economic cost.

From the museum concept to “grand opening” completion, the design team manages the project from the conceptual stage and manufacture surveillance to the valedictory flourish of completion, ensuring unprecedented quality and the best value of museum design solutions.

Following this, we provide detailed designs as part of a comprehensive package. This includes specifics about the museum’s design. For example, inclusive layout design drawings (elevation plans and cross-sections) and correlated database records, including production and project timetables and construction museum methodology, in addition to the location of each element.

Installation is another key part of the design progression. In a nutshell, we feel our devotion to detail, construction know-how, and proficient management skills assist us in achieving unmatched quality from all the contractors for the project.

We visit every single one of the fit-out contractors as well as individual consultants before any work commences on-site.
Moreover, we ensure that designs are strictly monitored. Therefore, should there be an issue, we resolve it at this initial phase instead of leaving an unpleasant surprise for when installation has started.

In addition, this proactive project methodology permits clients to relax, knowing that the project will be effectively delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality when the museum or exhibition opens.

We create a detailed snagging list of any flaws or details that must be corrected before handover.

Next, the design team quality snags all the details. Following this important stage, your museum design project is complete. We ensure merit in design, client satisfaction, and audience interaction.
