Part of the task was to investigate using non traditional gallery space within the museum.
A copy of the museum's floor plan.
The ground floor houses permanent collections in five galleries:
Bringing the world to Plymouth
This space has collections of objects from living cultures in Asia, Africa and Oceania.
Ancient Egypt
A look at life and death in a civilisation that lasted for more than 30,000 years.
Uncovered
Archaeology, including examples of local finds, from graves to tools,weapons and earthenware.
Plymouth: port and place
See how Plymouth has been shaped by the sea, military and conflict.
Explore Nature
Exhibiting specimens from the natural history collection.
The first floor houses permanent collections in three galleries.
Atrium Gallery
A large decorative collection, including examples of Plymouth and Bristol Porcelain.
The China Connection
Discover the origins of porcelain
Cottonian Collection
A collection of oil paintings, old master and English drawings, watercolours, prints and items relating to Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA.
The remaining two galleries on the first floor are dedicated to the museums rolling exhibition programme.
The non-gallery spaces are the entrance area and reception, rest rooms and shop/cafe, also the staircase leading to the first floor.
When initially considering the space i was really interred by the idea of suspending something from the ceiling funnily enough there is now currently (after the start of this project) a large Chinese dragon hanging there right now.
