Watch: Why the Bushmaster had to be lifted in and the hall built around it.

00:00We have to get the large objects in early so that the exhibitions can sort of be built around them.

00:05So we've got space at the moment with a big open building and we can put them in

00:10and then they'll stay in there safe until the displays get built around them.

00:20There's really been many years of preparation for it between doing the conservation work on it,

00:26getting all of the engineered supports ready for it to come in and then the work to organise all

00:33of the special transport and the crane work to get it in there has been a huge logistical effort

00:38for the whole team and to get it in and down the lifting pit is a really big achievement for

00:43everyone. So for the rest of this year we're still working on installing the exhibitions

00:47and then hopefully early next year is when we're looking for the visitors to be able to come and see it.
