Mila-wall: modular wall system for Leicester
Built in minutes. Rebuilt for the next exhibition.
Developed and manufactured by MBA, Mila-wall uses a patented, almost tool-free connector that joins complete wall modules into finished spatial structures – and separates them just as quickly. Surfaces remain virtually seamless, the technology stays hidden, and the system is TÜV GS certified.
A modular wall system for venues in Leicester whose spaces are reimagined season after season. Because every component is reusable, the same stock returns in a completely new layout for the next exhibition instead of ending up as waste. Sustainable and endlessly reconfigurable – a long-term asset for the institution rather than a one-off expense.
Wall systems for museums and exhibitions in Leicester
Temporary, mobile or permanent: Mila-wall adapts to your exhibition.
Temporary walls for museums
Temporary walls for museums in Leicester often have to look as permanent as the architecture around them for the weeks of an exhibition. Freestanding exhibition walls and partition walls go up in minutes and disappear cleanly after the programme; height-adjustable feet compensate for uneven historic floors.Mobile wall systems for museums
Mobile wall systems for museums in Leicester need to be as mobile as the loans and touring exhibitions themselves. The aluminium-framed panels withstand repeated transport and are light enough for in-house teams – in historic galleries as well as new buildings.Museum wall systems
Museum wall systems in Leicester have to handle very different curatorial approaches: Series 100 with an aluminium edge for flagship venues, Series 160 for long freestanding runs and heavy hangs, Series 840 with a wooden edge for tighter budgets, and SCENARIO as a plug-in system for pop-ups.Modular exhibition walls
Modular exhibition walls in Leicester serve museums, galleries, design studios and universities from a single stock: build heights of up to six metres, corners and angles without custom construction, and the same connection logic for every project.Temporary exhibition wall systems
Temporary exhibition wall systems in Leicester combine speed and a clean finish with Mila-wall: invisible connections, no visible technology – and 176 surfaces that are low-reflection, rich in colour and scratch-resistant, either permanently adhesive or removable without residue.Modular walls for exhibitions
Modular walls for exhibitions in Leicester must switch between Old Masters, history, design and contemporary art – and a single platform can carry this whole range. The lightweight honeycomb core in an aluminium frame remains repairable, and a stock typically pays for itself by around its fourth use.
In detail
Museums in Leicester: 10 museums that show what museum walls need to deliver
From New Walk and the Cathedral Quarter to Abbey Meadows, the Cultural Quarter and the university campuses, Leicester's museums and galleries span Roman history, medieval halls, space flight and contemporary art. The King Richard III Visitor Centre and Jewry Wall tell the story of the city's deep past, Leicester Museum & Art Gallery shows world cultures, natural history and German Expressionism, the National Space Centre presents rockets and satellites in its landmark tower, and the Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester Gallery and LU Arts bring changing exhibitions to the universities, while Northampton Museum and Art Gallery adds a major regional museum. The demands on museum walls could hardly be more varied: listed historic rooms with uneven floors on one side, large modern halls and university galleries on the other. Mila-wall is made for exactly this range.
Whether art museum, national museum or exhibition hall: museums across Europe and worldwide already work with Mila-wall museum walls.
