Floorplan and Medal Chamber
The 2D floorplan is used for the internal wayfinding wall and handout maps and simply illustrate the direction that the exhibition should be traversed. The 3D keyline drawings illustrate how the medal chamber extends above the first floor so that it can be seen from a viewing platform at the second floor bar.
Rooms 1 and 2
The first room in the Exhibition introduces Nancy and the context from which she made the transition from a journalist, interviewing Hitler and witnessing the atrocoities in France, to a fully fledged freedom fighter against Hitler. The second room details how Nancy became the Gestapo’s most wanted, and how she earned herself the nickname The White Mouse.
Rooms 3 and 4
The third room in the exhibition details Nancy’s story from her training in Scotland and fighting with the Marquis, through to preparations for D-Day. The final room before the Medal Chamber focuses on Nancy’s geratest achievement, the bike ride and the end of the war, tying up this chapter of Nancy’s story.
The Connecting Walls
The wall’s between the main four rooms detail the context of the time between the key events in Nancy’s story.
