Ulster's Sporting Heroes
Touring Exhibition

The Ulster Sports Museum Association are committed to securing a dedicated, permanent Ulster Sports Museum to 'Celebrate the Past and Inspire the Future' of Ulster sports. Raising awareness and rallying support among the general public is of course key to the success of this campaign and so we were delighted to be asked to produce a touring exhibition which would capture the public's imagination and ensure their support.

The exhibition tour begins in the East Entrance of Belfast City Hall, and because the foyer space contains many entrances and pillars, we decided that the German mila-wall® system was ideally suited, because it is a modular system which offers unparalleled flexibility.

LCD plasma screens and digiframes of varying sizes were fitted to the exhibition walls, allowing the visitor to access images that couldn’t be included on the exhibition panels.

We worked closely with the Ulster Sports Museum Association to define the key artefacts and memorabilia to go on display alongside the exhibition panels, which ranged from various trophies and caps, to George Best’s shirt and boots, Dawson Stelfox’s Everest climbing suit and the bronze bust of Dame Mary Peters.
