Outback Rigging is proud to have been chosen to rig the remarkable art installation,
"The Deadly Six: Oxford’s Battle with the Microbial World"
Currently on display at Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History.
This stunning exhibit, created by renowned Scottish artist Angela Palmer, features six intricate sculptures made from English willow, each representing diseases for which the Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) has developed life-saving vaccines, including pneumonia, meningitis, typhoid, Covid, malaria, and Ebola.
Five of these sculptures are suspended in the museum’s How Evolution Works gallery, showcasing the precision and expertise required to handle such unique and delicate works. The largest sculpture, a 2.4-meter long, 75kg representation of the Ebola virus, lies at floor level, offering a striking visual experience.
Outback Rigging is honoured to play a key role in bringing this captivating fusion of science and art to life, celebrating 30 years of ground-breaking vaccine research by the OVG. We take great pride in supporting this important tribute to the fight against some of the world’s deadliest diseases.
