Exhibitions we’ve printed.
MDR provides exhibition printing and graphics for museums, galleries, cultural venues, universities, showrooms and events - from interpretive panels and display graphics to wall vinyl and wayfinding. Every job is colour-managed, gallery-grade and delivered to install deadlines that don’t move.
Every exhibition is different. We work closely with curators, designers and venue teams to specify the right materials, finishes and sizes, then produce and finish the print with hands-on expertise. The results are sharp, repeatable and built to stand up to busy public spaces - and we check every piece before it leaves MDR.
Understanding Exhibition Print

MUSEUM & GALLERY PRINT
Museum & gallery exhibition graphics*
Museum and gallery work demands print that is accurate, durable and sympathetic to the artwork. MDR produces interpretive and exhibition information panels, wall graphics, caption and display panels and wayfinding - colour-managed for sensitive artwork reproduction and built for both temporary shows and longer-term displays.
The right material depends on the space, the expected display life and how the graphic will be installed. We advise on rigid panels, self-adhesive wall vinyl and flexible options so the finish suits the venue and the budget, and every panel is checked before it leaves MDR. Working to fixed install deadlines, we coordinate with curators and venue teams so the print arrives ready to fit - sharp, repeatable and produced with the attention to detail gallery environments expect.
EXHIBITION EXPERIENCE
Print trusted by cultural & creative organisations*
MDR has produced work for museums, galleries, universities and cultural organisations across a wide range of exhibitions and displays.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Choosing the right exhibition material*
The right material depends on where the graphic will be used, how long it needs to last and how it will be installed. We advise on rigid display panels for mounted graphics, self-adhesive wall vinyl for flat or curved surfaces, banners and flexible graphics for temporary and transportable displays, and display and signage materials for posts, wayfinding and freestanding fixtures.
Indoor or outdoor use, expected display life, the surface and location, the required appearance and finish, the installation method and how the print will be handled all shape the recommendation. Exhibition print sits alongside our large format print, exhibition displays and signage & graphics services - we\u2019ll advise on the right approach for your space.
