Kudos 10 at the Natural History Museum
Kudos' own tenth anniversary celebration, staged in Hintze Hall at the Natural History Museum. A full production showcase beneath the whale skeleton: dynamic lighting, an illuminated staircase with an integrated custom stage, full sound, a large LED screen, and 3D lettering lighting up the entrance outside.
Ten years of Kudos, staged at the Natural History Museum
For its tenth anniversary, Kudos took over Hintze Hall at the Natural History Museum and turned the room into a showcase of everything the company does. Guests dined beneath the museum's famous whale skeleton, in a hall transformed by light, sound and staging.
It was our own event, so the brief was simple: show what a full Kudos production looks like when nothing is held back. Every discipline in the business, from lighting and sound to staging, LED, print and scenic, was brought together under one roof.
A full production showcase in one of London's great spaces
Dynamic lighting washed the hall, the arches and the whale in deep magenta and purple, with the grand staircase illuminated as the centrepiece. A custom stage was integrated straight off the stairs, backed by a large LED screen for content and speeches.
A full sound system carried the speeches, a live band and DJ sets through the night, while pyro and effects lifted the key moments. Outside, 3D #KUDOS10 lettering and full illumination of the main entrance set the tone before guests even stepped inside.
Hintze Hall, Natural History Museum
Hintze Hall is one of the most dramatic event spaces in London: soaring Romanesque arches, the terracotta detail of the building, and the whale skeleton suspended overhead.
It is a space that rewards ambitious production, and one we know how to light and fill. If you are planning an event at the Natural History Museum, this is the scale of production we bring.
