Wilmslow-based Mather & Co to design Norwegian Olympic museum

The Norwegian Olympic Museum has appointed Wilmslow-based Mather & Co to take on a new project to coincide with the opening of the Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer in February 2016.

Mather & Co worked with the Museum to collate sponsorship opportunities for the project and after a successful campaign, the project was given the go ahead last month.

The project will see the relocation of the Norwegian Olympic Museum from its current site in Håkons Hall to Maihaugen as it sets its sights to re-design and reinterpret the existing collections to appeal to new and existing audiences, creating a state-of-the-art visitor experience.

Managing director at Mather & Co., Chris Mather, said: “With a strong portfolio of similar projects, Mather & Co. is familiar with telling the Olympic story, especially after our work on the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

“We’re confident we’ll convey the strong ties this country has to the Olympic Games. This will be our first development in Scandinavia and we’re extremely excited to be working there.”
