Heron Exhibitions are focused, lively presentations built around fascinating stories which are enhanced by state-of-the-art multimedia technology that puts the visitor in control.

The technology and subjects available invite exploration and participation - but the visitors themselves choose how much to go into a particular subject.

Today, exhibition visitors don’t want one-dimensional presentations and intensive, text-based learning: They want to become fully involved; they want audio visual information and an experience that -

• Draws them into the subject

• Informs in an easy-to-follow way; and

• Lets them interact and discover more about things that especially interest them

Our exhibitions do these things; they combine the research of our award-winning partners with technological and design expertise, to give visitors an unforgettable experience.

We provide many ways for them to personalise their interactions with the presentation and put what they’re looking at into context. Large Touchscreens are an extremely important part –

With a touch of their hand, visitors can explore topics in more depth, or zoom in on any section of a high-resolution image and see things in brilliant detail -

For example, it is as easy to study the different faces of the Terracotta Warriors of Xi’an as it is to look into an exquisite detail in Titian’s ‘Venus of Urbino’ that can never be seen by the naked eye.

In addition to authentic and replicated artefacts, our exhibitions use video and still images - and many involve archaeological reconstructions: With the simple touch of a screen -

• The visitor can move from the Colosseum in Rome as it stands today – or dozens of other structures - to when the Flavian Amphitheatre was in its heyday

• In Pompeii, they can visit a house that is still being lived in only a minute before the catastrophe, and watch its destruction and later rediscovery.

In all the exhibitions, atmosphere is boosted with lighting, giant projected images, sound and special effects.

Heron Exhibitions are selected and presented to appeal to a very broad range of visitors – and attract new visitors. They are designed to boost attendance and enhance the reputation of the exhibitor by making the visitor’s experience intriguing, informative and exciting.
