It’s been an exciting week for many of the staff working on the Bridewell project, as some of them were able to see the progress inside the museum for the first time in weeks. Where there is significant change in the galleries, things are really starting to take shape, which makes it much easier to envisage the new displays. The shaft has been created for the new lift, which will enable wheelchair users full access to the building for the first time. A new doorway has been created, and eventually visitors will be able to wander from the entrance area, into the sunny courtyard. Our designers from Ugly studios have also been on site this week, and are starting to translate their ideas off the page… and into the spaces. A great deal of inspiration was found in a recent trip to the Museum of London. The newly refrubished galleries were impressive, and although the budget was much larger we all came away with food for thought! And on the subject of food..it looks as if the Bridewell Museum will soon have a new neighbour, the Bridewell Deli which closed sometime ago is being refurbished…making way for a new cafe. We wish them well.
