An explorer, writer, archaeologist and diplomat. Gertrude Bell was an important figure in the history of the Middle East. The exhibition tells her amazing story. Beginning at her childhood and ending with her involvement (alongside Churchill and T.E. Lawrence) in the formation of Iraq. Our design includes bespoke units, ceiling drapes and graphics inspired by Islamic architecture. The result is a series of intimate spaces where visitors can explore the life of an extraordinary woman.

“Audiences were enthralled by how the story of Gertrude Bell was brought to life. Infinite did a great job telling an important historical tale in a contemporary exhibition.”
