Museum & Gallery Signage — Interpretation, Wayfinding, Curatorial Grade
Museum and gallery signage is a curatorial discipline — interpretation panels that read at a considered pace, wayfinding that respects the exhibition design and donor recognition that honours the philanthropy without dominating the space.
Where we work: Local-authority museums, national-museum outposts, private galleries, sculpture parks and heritage-property visitor centres.
"Signage supplier to national and local-authority museums and independent galleries."

FAQs — Museums & Galleries
Can you match the exhibition designer's typography?
Yes — we work directly from the designer's file and produce dry-proofs for curatorial sign-off before print.
Do donor walls expand as new donors are added?
Yes — we design in expandable name tiers so future donors are added without replacing the substrate.
Are interpretation panels Equality Act compliant?
Yes — text-height, contrast and mounting height all designed against Equality Act and RNIB museum guidance.
Regulations & Standards
Equality Act contrast and text-height requirements for interpretation panels; conservation-officer engagement for listed heritage venues.
Museum signage supports the interpretation without ever competing with it. Ours reads like part of the collection because we design it that way.
