Projects | Poole's Cavern
 
inHeritage was contacted by Buxton Civic Association in 2006 to deliver an exhibition space for the new visitor centre and an interpretative plan for the centre, cavern and Buxton Country Park.
The exhibition occupied three interconnecting spaces between the visitor centre ticket desk and the cavern entrance. The brief was to interpet the main key messages of the cavern relating to its geological formation, archaeological finds and literary associations. The target audiences were families and school parties, the latter mostly comprising classes at Key Stage 2.
inHeritage teamed up with Hathersage-based design company Hammer Design to produce a series of four flat panel wall display, an audio-visual presentation, a ceiling mural and a set of three floor-standing cartoon figures from the history of the cavern.
The exhibition was installed in July 2007 in time for the re-opening of the visitor centre which was formally opened by the Duke of Devonshire on the 19th May 2008.
