Not sure we told this story plainly, but certainly honestly. Following the discovery of Richard III’s remains, Leicester City Council set out to create a world class visitor centre to act as a cultural hub and learning resource worthy of the magnitude of the story being told.
With so many opposing opinions from vested, and some times vexed sides, finding a narrative balance and mapping this into the interior spaces was key to the success of this project.
Ground floor displays explored the events of Richard’s short reign and how his actions, both good and bad, still resonate today. Second floor displays examined the amazing events that lead to the discovery of Richard’s remains, and the science used to prove the body found was the lost King.
