The permanent gallery plots Heath Robinson's life and illustrates it with objects, and original and reproduction artworks.
The detail and execution of Heath Robinson's ink illustrations is breathtaking
The interpretive scheme floats inside the ultramodern interior
Original watercolours by Heath Robinson are displayed alongside his better-known works
The wallpaper itself is one big canvas that ties together the other works
The horizontal reader surface flows like paper from a printing press
The high-level reproductions are individually lit with profile lighting
The individually lit reproductions illuminate the room like lanterns
The delicate use of natural wood and cast concrete allow the paper-based artworks to take centre stage
The arrangement of real works was coordinated to the millimetre with the digitally-printed wallpaper backing
The entrance to the permanent gallery is guarded by one of Heath Robinson's lesser-known characters
Uncle Lubin floats away in his magical airship
The flowing 'lifeline' story delicately arcs from surface to surface
