February 2007 | Encouraging repeat visitors 12,000 years later! |

| Drawing upon our vast experience in working with museums to produce content-led work where the various potential techniques of interpretation and presentation integrate to produce a cohesive experience, Continuum has been appointed to design and build the interpretation facilities and services for the new Creswell Crags Museum and Archaeology Park and Education Centre. Creswell Crags is one of Britain’s most important archaeological and geological sites as one of the most northerly places on earth to have been visited by humans during the last Ice Age. In 2003, the discovery of Ice Age rock art at Creswell Crags underlined the international significance of the site and opened up tremendous opportunities for interpretation and for display to bring the story of Creswell Crags to life.   Continuum will work alongside the Creswell Heritage Trust and OMI Architects to ensure the interpretation at Creswell is delivered in an informative, entertaining and popular manner in order to advance public knowledge, awareness and interest in this significant archaeological site as well as promoting archaeological research and publication. The new Education Centre will be a centre of educational excellence for the archaeology and environment of the Quaternary period. With recently announced £4.2m Heritage Lottery Fund backing, the new museum and facilities are planned to open towards the end of 2008. |
