Royal Armouries Leeds Exhibition Signage for Gladiators Project

Since working with Royal Armouries Museum for over a decade, DP Sign & Display has delivered high-quality exhibition signage and large format graphics across the site. For the internationally acclaimed Gladiators: Heroes of the Colosseum exhibition, we were proud to support the museum with a complete visual solution.
What’s the Story Behind the Royal Armouries Leeds Exhibition Signage?
The exhibition Gladiators, Heroes of the Colosseum arrived at the Royal Armouries Leeds
from 28 June to 2 November 2025, bringing a major cultural attraction to West Yorkshire. As a long-term signage partner, we were thrilled to be involved in such an important and high-profile exhibition.
Our extensive knowledge of the site meant we could move quickly, having previously surveyed most areas of the museum. However, this project introduced a new external location, requiring fresh ideas and creative problem-solving to maximise impact.
Our Solution for Exhibition Signage at Royal Armouries Leeds
We carried out a detailed survey of the exterior walls facing the canal to assess how large flex face graphic frames could be installed. The aim was to create a flexible, interchangeable branding space suitable not only for this exhibition but for future events as well.
The installation presented several challenges, including restricted access and uneven ground conditions. Careful planning was required to manage the weight of materials, machinery, and installation crew, ensuring a safe and efficient process.
Despite these challenges, our team developed a solution that made full use of the space while delivering a bold and visually striking result.
Large Format Exhibition Graphics and Display Solutions
This project incorporated a wide range of exhibition signage and display products, including:
- Flags
- Character standees
- Posters
- Panel graphics
- Lift graphics
- Banners
Each element was produced to a high standard, ensuring consistency across the entire exhibition and enhancing the visitor experience.
Results – Exhibition Signage Impact at Royal Armouries Leeds
The finished installation created a powerful visual presence for the exhibition, helping attract visitors and elevate the museum’s exterior space.
The use of interchangeable graphic frames also provides long-term value, allowing the Royal Armouries Leeds to update visuals for future events with ease.
This project is another example of how DP Sign & Display delivers end-to-end signage solutions, from survey and design support through to production and installation.
