ABSTRACT
All redevelopment project outcomes, the galleries, are unique. However, the contemporary process in Britain, if supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), is one undertaken in stages. And processual commonalities, there are numerous factors that all of the case study museums shared. Project members highlighted these factors over the course of data collection at the institutions. As the grouping of initial codes progressed, it became clear that they could link to one or more focused code categories. For example, 'access' is an initial code that links three focused codes: Harmonising with architecture. Shifting power: The audience in museum and Agendas: Government policies and museum-related initiatives. Access is linked to audience, that is, the access museum visitors have to the collections, both on display and in storage. Now audiences are more vocal about accessibility, and rightly so, as it influences interpretive formats and display modes. Museum teams need to consider different modes of access when making decisions for design of galleries.
