July 2007 | Refurbished museum tells story of a remarkable man |
|
| Continuued was commissioned by the Stewart's Burnby Hall Gardens and Museum Trust to refurbish the exsiting museum in Pocklington near York. The Stewart Musuem Project involved the radical updating of a museum originally design over thirty years ago. Cased ethnographic artefacts and natural history specimins are combined with multimedia and hands-on activities to present the story of Major Percy Stewart, an Edwardian gentleman, hunter and world traveller. The brief included the rebranding and refurbishment of both the interior and the exterior of the museum building and to provide interpretive links between the museum and the gardens that surround it. Continuum was responsible for all elements of the project from concept design through to project management of the actual deliver of this project. The Trust have praised the work undertaken by Continuum and our ability to carry through the vision the Trust had when they embarked upon the project. The project has delivered a museum that is something the people of Pocklington can be justifiably proud of.  |
