We also had to deal with some areas which needed to be camouflaged.
On the first floor, the same pole is hidden inside the wall to the Pavilion Hospital gallery. |
Another area which needed disguising was the building’s old elevator.
Here you can see the door to the old elevator on the third floor. Visitors don’t see this floor, so we only need a warning sign to remind the staff not to use this non-functioning elevator! |
There’s no sign of an elevator on the second floor in the Field Evacuation gallery. |
The barn door which is part of the scenery in the gallery actually disguises the elevator door. It also creates a little storage nook, as well as a convenient place to hide a sticky trap! |
On the first floor, in the Field Hospital gallery, a different door hides the elevator and a storage closet. |
I’ll bet the next time you visit a museum, while you’re looking at the artifacts you’ll also be looking for the “hidden” items!
