Museums & Exhibition Spaces
Intercell in Museums and Exhibition Spaces
In a museum or exhibition space, everything revolves around the visitor experience. Intercell provides an invisible infrastructure that keeps the focus entirely on the collection.
Invisible infrastructure, maximum experience
In a museum or exhibition space, everything revolves around the visitor experience. Attention must be directed entirely towards the artworks, objects or installations — not towards visible cables, conduits or technical provisions that clutter the space and disrupt the experience. At the same time, exhibitions change regularly, requiring a flexible and easily adaptable infrastructure that keeps pace without necessitating major renovations or significant costs.
Intercell offers the perfect solution. The modular floor system neatly conceals all cables, power and data connections beneath the floor, with no visible conduits or trip hazards for visitors. Installation is fast and drill-free, leaving the original floor of the museum or exhibition space completely intact. And when the exhibition changes, the system adapts effortlessly — no demolition work, no contractor and no excessive costs.
Museums and exhibition spaces place unique demands on infrastructure.
The space must always look well-maintained and professional, technical installations must remain out of sight, and the layout must be quick and easy to reconfigure when a new exhibition is being set up. At the same time, strict requirements apply regarding fire safety and preservation of the original floor — particularly in historic properties and listed buildings. Intercell meets all of these requirements. Below are the six key benefits for your museum or exhibition space.
Flexible for every exhibition
Museums and exhibition spaces are constantly evolving. New exhibitions, changing layouts and an increasing amount of interactive technology require an infrastructure that adapts without the need for major investments or renovations. Intercell makes this possible. The modular floor system is easy to expand, adjust and maintain, without major renovations or high costs. Whether it concerns a temporary exhibition, a permanent installation or a completely new layout of the space, Intercell adapts without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Thanks to the floor boxes for power and data connections, every layout, every artwork and every interactive installation has exactly the connections it needs, precisely where they are needed. And because the floor panels are easy to remove, adjustments are implemented quickly and without disruption, even outside opening hours. This ensures you always have the flexibility to respond to new exhibitions and new technologies, without being dependent on a contractor or a major renovation.
