Museum Victoria commissioned HeineJones to design and install new signs and informational graphics to update the Immigration Museum’s wayfinding system.
The Immigration Museum is located on a major thoroughfare in Melbourne’s CBD. The Museum required striking and prominent signage to catch pedestrians’ attention and entice them inside.
In 2008, Museum Victoria commissioned HeineJones to design and install wayfinding signage and information graphics to reflect the museum’s contemporary focus. Our solution used vitreous enamel steel panels to display the museum’s entrance information.
Some of the largest signs of their kind in Australia, they will stand the test of time. Vandal-resistant yet aesthetically pleasing, vitreous enamel is an almost impenetrable material, lending itself to stability and longevity.
The wayfinding signage also had to conceal complex engineering solutions and a variety of lighting and plumbing services. HeineJones developed durable casings to securely house these essential utilities.
