Exhibition Production
Natural History Productions has over twenty years experience in exhibition production.
Project Management
Exhibition production involves a coming together of many skills and disciplines. We work effectively with designers, scientists, curators, producers, tradesmen & technicians. We liaise with many levels of government, the community & business stakeholders. We assist with project logistics which includes the employment & management of contractors.

We work with your concepts & designs or can draft practical display designs & plans, incorporating all elements to best effect. This is further supported with our vast network of museum contacts, natural history scientists, artists, graphic designers, printers and specialist trades.
