For thirty years, Show Works has built the things that hold a show together - the floors dancers train on and the scenery that tours the country, right through to the galleries that hold a nation's treasures. That work continues.

On the record

The work speaks. So do they.

Museum project directors and exhibition leads on what it is like to have the Show Works bench behind a build. Same makers, same standard, project after project.

Show Works was very easy to work with, they are solutions focused and their level of finish and customer interaction was outstanding. Show Works delivered beyond our expectations and were an excellent choice for the project. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any similar project.
Trish McDonald New Museum Project Director, Western Australian Museum Museum & Gallery
