“
Wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure”
Open Treasure is an award-winning exhibition set within the incredible, 900-year-old Durham Cathedral. The exhibitions, presented within the historic Monks’ Dormitory and medieval stone vaulted Great Kitchen, explore the story of St Cuthbert and the spread of early Christianity, monastic life at the Priory and Cathedral life post-reformation across four unique architectural spaces in this stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Our designs capture the reverence and gravitas whilst remaining accessible. Visitors can feel the atmosphere of spirituality all around them as the stories unfold before them.

What the client said...
“
I think it’s absolutely fantastic. I’ve been waiting to come here and see the finished project and it didn’t disappoint. The Cathedral never do anything unless it’s worth doing and it’s the same with Open Treasure – it’s world-class. Fantastic.”
