Stand design tips for Heritage Middle East

• Treat the stand like a gallery. Museum professionals judge display quality; showcases, lighting and labelling should be gallery-grade.

• Show conservation in detail. Before-and-after samples and close-up displays explain restoration work better than text.

• Make room for long talks. Projects are large and long-term; a quiet meeting area suits discussions with cultural authorities.

• Use controlled lighting. Low-UV, adjustable lighting shows respect for objects and the standards visitors expect.

• 6–8 weeks before: final design, submit drawings and service orders

• 3–4 weeks before: fabrication and graphics
