Portrait Gallery Wall
Portrait Gallery Exhibit Space
O+D designed a permanent display support structure for the portrait gallery space in the main foyer of the Canadian War Museum.
The wall-mounted aluminum support structure, visible at the back of the exhibit, was a design collaboration between O+D and the CWM/ CMH. It was designed to accommodate a variety of design configurations as this gallery space changes once or twice per year.
​
The design also included a portable reader rail system, c/w a glass surround for artifact safety (see bottom image). This allows the barrier to be removed for visitor ease of access to small artifacts on display in some exhibits.
​
'Ready to Serve' is the third exhibit designed by O+D for this space. O+D provided exhibit and graphic design, and fabrication drawings featuring a selection of photos taken during the First World War.
​
The Canada Science and Technology Museum loaned the Cirkut camera to CWM for this exhibition.
