Arts and culture: museums and galleries
Museums and galleries represent some of the world’s most architecturally impressive structures. Importantly, their design often captures a country or city’s history, ambitions and sense of identity.
For over 50 years Arup has collaborated with leading architects to deliver an inspiring list of well-loved museums and galleries. Our international repertoire comprises the renovation of museums and galleries in heritage buildings as well designing new exciting facilities for exhibitions.
Arup has a strong reputation for its arts building designs. We also have the skills to reinvent these buildings for the future. We are committed in our approach to achieving the best and most efficient and sustainable designs for museums and galleries, ensuring the preservation and display of collections for future generations.
From conception to completion, we worked on the award winning Sydney Modern project, a new wing extension of the Art Gallery of NSW. Arup provided more than 15 disciplines, including civil, structural, and acoustic consulting, lighting design, fire and hydraulic engineering and security advisory services.
