Experience
Case Study: British Museum – Japanese Gallery Refurbishment
The Challenge
The collections at the British Museum that focus on Japan are the most comprehensive in Europe. Totalling some 26,000 objects, they comprise fine decorative arts, antiquities and historical materials dating from ancient history to the present day. As part of our framework contract with the British Museum, we were asked to replace electrical services at the Japanese Gallery.
The Solution
Once the existing services were removed, we supplied new infrastructure for low voltage, security, data, lighting and fire detection systems. We tailored the lighting systems to provide optimum support for managing and viewing the collection; it includes lighting track, recessed downlighters, showcase and fibre optic lighting. It also incorporates dimmable controls and is linked to the site-wide BMS system.
The Results
Thanks to our work the artefacts are safe, secure and in the best environment for both the museum’s staff and its many visitors.
