The complex of museums designed by SSH, overlooking the Persian Gulf will set new records within the museum sector; the challenging project consists of the simultaneous design and build of four innovative new museums; Natural History Museum, Science Centre, Space Museum and Islamic Museum, which will include 20 dynamic galleries.
Cultural Innovations, responsible for the exhibition design have introduced key features including a one million litre aquarium, set within a rainforest and mangrove swamp, a dark ride motion base “virus attack”, a planetarium, an interactive space station, and over 800 exhibits and interactives. The project will also feature more than 1,000 models, props and collections, supervised by SSH and lead museum consultant Keith Gray.
A project of this magnitude and complexity has never been attempted simultaneously and is currently the largest cultural and science project in the world.
The team will be engaging a vast number of the UK’s, European and US specialist market to successfully complete this mammoth project across many disciplines including;
- Audio Visual
- Scenic Artists
- Mechanical Interactives
- Object Mounts
- Glass and Aquariums
- Graphics
