The ground floor "Bristol Places" gallery focuses on the physical and dynamic city - the ways that people have shaped and experienced the city and continue to do so. The gallery features a huge 150sqm area of Floorink; our digitally printed vinyl cushion floor product. Famous landmarks in the area were pinpointed on a large scale aerial photograph to create an interactive visitor attraction. As you can see from the photographs, the printed map floor is a great focal point and gets visitors of all ages talking about their local area. It is a fun and colourful flooring solution for public spaces, yet also an educational tool with great impact.
Have a look at photographer Oliver Edward's blog for a 360 virtual tour of the museum floor. http://oliveredwardsphotography.com/virtualtours/downstairs.swf
