Conservation piece

Article Abstract:

The conservative work of the museum housing White and Oates exhibition was taken up by Hampshire County Council, who had to keep a clear vision when painstakingly restoring the local museum. Careful planning of the works by architects Peter Davis and Giles Pitchard paid off, with a project carried out within budget, on programme and with a minimum of disruption to the museum's activities.
