We have recently completed the refurbishment of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Cast Courts. The Cast Courts exhibit the Museum’s collection of 19th-century reproductions of Italian Renaissance Monuments, including the five-metre high cast of Michelangelo’s David.

The project included the re-glazing of the existing roof structure, which sits twenty-four metres above the gallery floor, allowing better light control. The copper light windows also underwent a complete restoration. Works were undertaken from a birdcage scaffold, which was also used to carry out a complete decoration of the gallery.

The re-opening of the gallery attracted a great deal of press coverage with articles featuring in the Guardian, Daily Mail, Telegraph and Evening Standard.
