Jewish Museum

London’s Jewish Museum had recently undergone a £10m transformation, creating a new museum and an inspirational place to explore culture, heritage and identity. Engaging with people of all ages, backgrounds and faiths the new galleries bring our collections to life by placing the Jewish story into the wider context of British history.
BAF transformed many of the museums walls, which now feel like a cosy mid 20th Century Jewish living room, by using textured Digimura wall-covering printed with a stress marked vintage pattern to create an aged feel.

Silk screen panels, Lambda wraps to MDF and Di-Bond plus light boxes to optical clear film were all employed to highlight the fascinating collections. Encased graphics were printed to pearlescent Lambda paper to achieve an aged gold effect.

National Army Museum

Continuing a long collaborative relationship with the National Army Museum, BAF recently installed 3 ground breaking exhibitions for them: Conflicts of Interest exploring 3 decades of the role of the British army, Korea: The Cold War’s Hot War and The Boer War.
The exhibitions called for some exciting print production methods including textured wall-covering, stencilling and on-site silk screening. Noteworthy features include a huge 8m square floor graphic produced from Rho direct to vinyl which was anti-scratch sealed, a collage of raised Dibond panels and some Rho direct to MDF jigsawed figures.
Painted walls achieved precise colour matching and were complemented with Rho direct to Dibond panels with anti-scratch, wrapped sealed on alluminium split battens.
