The story
A project worth looking at properly.
When MTRNM brought its Night at the Museum concept from Los Angeles to London, it chose Hintze Hall at the Natural History Museum. Kudos AV delivered full technical production for a sold-out night headlined by Marten Lou, with up to 1,200 guests dancing beneath the famous whale skeleton.
Production scope
Designed. Built. Delivered.
The production disciplines brought together for this project.
Concert Grade Sound
Line array system tuned to Hintze Hall's stone and glass acoustics.
Lighting & Beam Show
Full moving-head rig with beams programmed for the headline set.
Lasers & Effects
Laser effects integrated into the club production.
Architectural Uplighting
Arches and grand staircase lit without fixing to protected surfaces.
DJ Booth & Stage
Stage build and DJ booth for the headline performance.
Full Crew
Engineering crew across load-in, show and derig within museum access windows.
The Challenge
Concert sound and a full light show, without touching the building
Filling a Grade I listed Victorian hall with concert sound and a full light show, without touching the fabric of the building, is a serious production challenge. We designed a concert-grade line array tuned to stone and glass acoustics, a full lighting and beam show, lasers, and architectural uplighting on the arches and grand staircase, all rigged around the museum's operating hours.
