N2 - This project speculates on modular and adaptable exhibition space designs for temporary installation and celebration of the collection. It forms part of the initial project for the Re-Imagining of the Harris Museum. Carved proudly on the outside of the Grade I listed Harris building is the inscription, ‘The Mental Riches You May Here Acquire Abide with You Always’. The Victorian founders’ vision was that the Harris Free Library, Museum & Art Gallery would be the focus of culture, arts and learning, an embodiment of aspirations in late 19th century Preston. The project is inspired by those founders’ early ambitions, whilst also responding to the needs of the people of the city and the region for the next generation.
