Museums & Visitor Centres

Innovation is the key to interpretation that keeps visitors engaged and inspired, providing the breadth and depth of information, knowledge and entertainment that fulfils the expectations of the twenty-first century visitor.

Leading international tourist attractions like  Hampton Court Palace, the V&A Museum, Blenheim Palace and Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum are amongst the many prestigious venues to make regular use of the uniquely specialist skills of Integrated Circles’ project team and engineers.They know the company has the experience and tenacity to effectively interpret the most esoteric of briefs and deliver a practical working model, providing the visitor with a memorable sensory experience.

At Integrated Circles, we have always understood that the best public displays are those that keep on working, day after day, week after week. Nothing is less inspiring to a museum visitor than an “Out of Order” notice or “restart” message.  Our well- engineered systems take into account the environment in which they have to operate, frequency of use and the design life of the exhibition as well as basic display functions.

Only when these factors have been taken into consideration can appropriate system component be selected, and the true cost-effectiveness of a solution determined against its operational life.

Experienced Professionals

Back in 1979, Integrated Circles first introduced solid state audio replay into a museum. Designed for the Science Museum in London with a playing time of only 4 seconds, it was the prototype of audio visual systems without moving media or fans. 

This simple technology transformed performance standards by providing unequalled reliability for the constant replay operation demanded by museum galleries. Today, Integrated Circles manufactures a range of Solid State Audio, Video and High Definition players, designed for purpose and supplied with warranties of up to ten years. 

With three decades of experience encompassing technologies from simple image and sound replay devices to image projection, lighting control, sound, wind and hydraulic effects, Pepper’s Ghosts, touchscreen and gesture interaction, show automation and even smells, Integrated Circles has the expertise to advise and deliver the most practical and cost effective approaches to any project implementation.
