About

National Museums On Merseyside awarded a contract to The Hub Ltd for the construction and installation of joinery setworks for the Terracotta Warriors exhibition at World Museum in Liverpool.

The setworks included wall and ceiling structures, dividing screens, and plinths across approximately 1000 square metres in the William Brown Room and Lower Horse Shoe Gallery.

The walling was designed to house display cases and air ventilation units provided by other contractors.

The exhibition, running from February to October 2018, showcased national treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, marking the first time in over 30 years such an exhibition was brought to a UK museum outside London.

The contract value was £349,532.
