Cultural Innovations coordinates museum restaurant

Cultural Innovations has managed a refurbishment project at the Natural History Museum focusing on catering facilities for visitors throughout the building.

The visitor catering upgrade programme has now been completed with the opening of the restaurant in December 2009, one of the largest museum restaurants in the UK.

The new restaurant is the third and most important of the Museum's visitor catering zones to be revamped in the space of 12 months.

The Natural History Museum had to obtain listed building consent to break through the original building fabric to an adjacent gallery, providing the additional space.

This extra space has allowed the designers to open up the kitchens and bring them front-of-house.

The restaurant is part of a comprehensive refit and facilities refurbishment programme and completes a strategic re-modelling of the museum's eating and refreshment facilities.

The project has consisted of three phases over 12 months, overseen by Cultural Innovations, who has been responsible for co-ordinating the consultant team and for procurement of fit-out contractors, catering equipment and furniture suppliers.
