British Library, London

Since Oscar Wilde in 2000, DHA have been lighting consultants to the British Library, lighting over 50 exhibitions and the Treasures Gallery.

For twenty-five years, DHA have worked continuously with the BL, lighting star objects including the Magna Carta, the Lindisfarne Gospels and Shakespeare’s First Folio, alongside loans of the Domesday Book (TNA) and the Alfred Jewel (Ashmolean). They have re-designed the Paccar 1 and Paccar 2 Galleries, and the Treasures Gallery. Recent projects include Beyond the Bassline (2024) and Gardening (2025)
