We provide a full range of design services, from educational resources and handbooks to guidebooks, promotional literature, fundraising leaflets and museum exhibitions. If you need something designed, and you want it to look good and fly off the shelves, we can help.
We have extensive experience of designing for the heritage and museums sectors and a selection of our work is below. Keep an eye out on the other pages of this site as well - you'll find details of other projects and a variety of testimonials from satisfied clients.
Home to wealthy merchants, Norwich's Strangers' Hall dates from 1320. Recently, four fine, new room displays were created as part of the ‘Mayors & Magnates' project, funded by DCMS/ Wolfson and others. Barry produced a sympathetic identity for the Hall's signage and printed material. His concept uses a painting from the Great Hall as a vehicle for smaller image elements to reflect the building's diversity, collections and spaces.
Elizabeth to Elizabeth
As one of the most important places of Christian worship in Britain, St Paul's Cathedral has played a central and symbolic role in the progress of monarchy, providing a focal point for thanksgivings and commemorations at times of national importance and for the celebration of royal milestones. This exhibition acknowledges this unique relationship through tastefully considered design.
2008 Marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of Britain’s best loved national heroes, Admiral Lord Nelson. In homage to the great man, the 1805 Club commissioned Barry to design a logo that would help promote the club's anticipated celebrations.
The Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth along with its supporting partners has opened the doors of its stores. Its audiences are invited to discover ‘hidden gems’ and find out more about the Royal Navy in the 20th century - primarily through its new website. As part of a wider programme of promotional materials for the site, Barry produced a set of postcards that cover 5 themes and also make up a complete frieze as shown here.
The National Trust
Barry designed a series of education leaflets for the National Trust's Eastern Region to re-assert its ‘vision for school visits'.
The leaflets have been favourably received at NT properties.

Heritage Education Trust
The Heritage Education Trust's Heritage Education Regional Outreach (HERO) project recognises the broader benefits of learning in the historic environment without neglecting the traditional goals of heritage education.
Barry designed a report that outlines the project's methodology , the programmes it developed and their outcomes, and has set them out clearly and accessibly as a guide to owners, curators, heritage education professionals and teachers.

Time and Tide Museum
Barry designed a
temporary exhibition - To Have and to Hold - that helps us realize the importance of the past through souvenirs. An extremely broad collection of artefacts were accommodated and included: a walrus skull, mummified hand, inscribed emu eggs, and ‘the bullet that shot the mess goose’.
Heritage Open Days
The Heritage Open Days (HODs) Teacher's Pack and Organiser's Handbook were designed by Barry Lowenhoff for the Civic Trust and edited/written by Ben Locker when he was HODs Education Manager. Both publications are highly-regarded and the Teacher's Pack received a positive review in the Times Education Supplement.
