British Museum – Mysteries of Ancient China

In the following major exhibition for Mysteriers of Ancient China, Graham Simpson, Minale Tattersfiled's senior exhibition designer created and designed the layout, the interior architecture, the showcases and the displays. This was The British Museum’s largest and most successful exhibition since Tutankhamen and achieved critical acclaim and a Design Week Award.

The unique collection of recent tomb discoveries, ranging from small pieces of jewellery to large bronze and terracotta castings, were being shown outside China for the first time. The exhibition covered the period from about 5000BC to the end of the Han Dynasty in 200AD.

Traditional Chinese architecture linking public and private space with courtyards and openings in structures influenced the orientation of the layout and the design, enhancing the visitor’s appreciation of the objects on show.
