Abstract
This article focuses on the redisplay of groups of decorative ceramic tiles removed from their original setting. It explores the determining factors affecting the choice of display method and summarises past and current techniques and materials used to back panels of tiles, with emphasis given to the safe reversal of various systems. The method of mounting tiles on Hexlite® 620 board that has evolved from tile projects at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London is detailed. Reference is made to alternative practices using lightweight backboards. Examples are given of the approaches taken to enable large panels to travel safely in museum touring exhibitions.
