For this new tender opportunity, the display case requirement will be set within the main gallery spaces and compromise a range of shapes and sizes of glass showcases, hoods and protective vitrines. The display cases will be utilised to present a range of in-house collections, loans and donated objects. These include paintings, ceramics, taxidermy, scientific instruments and objects from social and educational history . The showcases will be in fixed locations as part of the permanent interpretation design for the gallery spaces.
