Abbey House Museum  in Kirkstall is housed in the gatehouse of the ruined Kirkstall Abbey, a grade II listed building.

The ground floor of the museum is set out as an area of Victorian streets, illustrating a range of shops and services and including original shop fittings etc. Upstairs galleries feature the history of Kirkstall Abbey, Childhood, and Leeds Social History, as well as temporary exhibitions.  TESS have supplied Evolution Modular cases and PrismHD desk style cases to the museum in the past, but for the latest gallery upgrade we have been asked to supply our Mono-3d high security system – not just for the security aspects but also because the cases can be taken in dis-assembled through a tricky route, then re-assembled in place of some older timber framed cases without looking out of place in the traditional room setting.

The Whipple Museum of the History of Science holds an extensive collection of scientific instruments, apparatus, models, pictures, prints, photographs, books and other material related to the history of science. It was founded in 1944, when Robert Whipple presented his collection of scientific instruments to the University of Cambridge. The Museum’s collection is designated by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) as being of “national and international importance”.   TESS are very pleased to have been selected to supply a number of cases to the Whipple in recent years, including most recently a series of our Evolution Modular cases  for displaying some of their most treasured possessions in their Upper Gallery.

The British Music Experience (BME) museum housed within the O2 Bubble (formerly the Millennium Dome) houses an amazing collection of exhibits covering all aspects of British music dating from 1944.  Many items are on display and the more precious examples are regularly displayed in TESS Demountable Mono-3d high security cases.  The BME recently placed another order for this high security showcase system.

With 2012 being the year of the London Olympics, don’t miss out on the chance to see the Olympic Medals exhibition at the British Museum.  The exhibition tells the story of the Olympic and Paralympic medals from the mine to the podium.  The very first pressings of the medals are on display in TESS Evolution cases on the first floor.

TESS have been supplying Mono-3d cases to T&WM Services for many years now.  The cases are exceptionally robust and are able to shrug off the constant assembly/dismantling and moving around the North of England to the many venues served by the T&WMS.  Shipley Art Gallery have just added another suite of Mono-3d cases to the collection which will serve them for many more years to come.

Grace Darling was the heroine of Victorian Britain.  She was awarded the RNLI Silver Medal for Gallantry after risking her life in an open boat to help rescue the survivors of the wrecked SS Forfarshire in 1838.  The Grace Darling Museum was established in 1938 to commemorate her life.  TESS is extremely proud to be the supplier of Evolution showcases to the museum and to be associated with one of life’s great stories.
