Lina Ghotmeh Selected to Redesign the British Museum’s Western Range Galleries

The British Museum has announced that Lina Ghotmeh Architecture, based in Paris, will spearhead the ambitious redesign of its Western Range galleries in London. After a thorough two-stage international competition, the Lebanese architect Lina Ghotmeh’s studio was chosen as the “unanimous favourite" among a shortlist of five candidates. The studio’s method, referred to as “archaeological," perfectly aligns with the museum’s mission to transform its historic spaces while honouring its rich heritage.
