Core values
Our main aim throughout this series of events and exhibitions is to be accessible to as many people as possible so we have taken special considerations when putting together our displays and interactives.
Where possible, we have audio description QR codes available and the fonts featured on our labels are large and easy to read.
Our collection items are arranged in a way that makes them easy to manoeuvre around and our display cases are set at a lower level for a better viewing experience.
Sustainability is also a key value at the heart of this project so we have reused exhibition materials from past events and have also increased our use of digital marketing to reduce our paper usage.
We are also encouraging visitors to travel by public transport, on foot or by bike to our exhibitions to lower our carbon footprint.
