GRANT MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY - LONDON
|
Looking at old bones... Due to the museum and its specimens recently being relocated to its new home at 21 University Street , London. KSA was nominated from the museums main contractor to finalise the design, fabricate and install the new showcases that would form part of the museums new exhibition. The housings / fascias of this new showcase were fabricated from aluminium and mild steel components and finished with a powder coating treatment.
Due to the exisiting Victorian bookshelves , that formed the basis of the cabinets, being distorted and ireggular in geometry , this required KSA to from an extensive survey of the existing structure to enable these new additions to be fitted accurately. ABOUT THE MUSEUM The Grant Museum of Zoology is the only remaining university zoological museum in London. It houses around 67,000 specimens, covering the whole Animal Kingdom. Founded in 1828 as a teaching collection, the Museum is packed full of skeletons, mounted animals and specimens preserved in fluid.
