Museums often face a unique challenge. How do you create an inspiring yet functional space that can adapt to ever changing exhibitions, events, and visitor needs? Fixed layouts are often a limitation when it comes to creativity, while traditional construction can be a costly and disruptive solution. Have you ever considered movable museum walls?

AEG Partitions design and install bespoke movable wall partitions that gives museums the flexibility they need, without compromising on acoustics, aesthetics, or visitor experience, all vital considerations for any museum owner!

So, why are museum movable walls such a benefit?

Flexibility for exhibitions and events

Museums are fluid in how they appear to visitors, due to the sheer scale of the exhibitions on show. These displays rotate, and new collections are introduced. This means that event spaces must transform quickly if these displays are to be presented in an informative, engaging way.

Sliding and foldable walls, such as the Teachwall 200 make it simple to:

Reconfigure gallery layouts in hours, rather than weeks.
Create private areas for workshops or guided tours.
Open up large halls for special events or high-footfall days.

This level of adaptability helps museums keep their spaces relevant and visitor-friendly.

Protecting acoustics and privacy

In public spaces, especially museums, noise management is a key concern. Our acoustic operable walls, such as the Techwall 100, allow museums to:

Reduce sound transfer between galleries and event spaces, meaning little to no disruption across spaces
Provide quiet zones for study, education or private functions
Maintain a calm, professional atmosphere for all visitors

AEG’s partitions achieve high acoustic ratings, ensuring exhibitions remain immersive and undisturbed.

Minimalising disruption and downtime

One of the biggest concerns for museum managers is disruption during installation, and rightly so! Unlike permanent construction alternatives, our partitions are:

Quick to install – often in a single working day
Clean and non-invasive, resulting in minimal mess
Supported with ongoing service and maintenance

This results in continuous operation, whilst improving your layout.

Long term value and reliability

Investing in movable museum walls isn’t just about improving your adaptability today, it’s also about future-proofing for any upcoming needs. Our systems are:

UK manufactured for quality and durability
Easy to operate and maintain
Tailored to blend seamlessly with existing interiors

Over time, they provide a cost-effective alternative to any expensive construction projects you may be considering, whilst also keeping museums adaptable to changing needs.
