About

Welland Procurement awarded a contract to Vertigo for the design, build, and installation of a new permanent gallery at Rutland County Museum, interpreting Rutland's history from the Stone Age to the Anglo-Saxon period, including a feature Roman section dedicated to the Ketton Roman Mosaic.

The contract, valued at £450,500, covers an end-to-end service incorporating creative design, technical development, fabrication, installation, and commissioning, with a project timeframe of 6 to 7 months and a gallery opening scheduled for January 2027.

The gallery will occupy approximately 195 m², with a 10m x 6m area allocated to a digital interpretation experience exploring Roman history, centred on a high-quality digital representation of the Ketton Roman Mosaic.

This gallery is the second instalment of the 'Digging Rutland' exhibition series and part of the wider transformation of Rutland County Museum, funded through Rutland County Council's Levelling Up funds.
