South Kensington's cultural quarter gets rebrand inspired by the Great Exhibition of 1851
Design agency Frost*collective has completed an 18-month rebrand for the Exhibition Road Cultural Group (ERCG) in South Kensington, London, drawing inspiration from the Great Exhibition of 1851. The new identity aims to reframe the area — home to the V&A, Natural History Museum, and other major attractions — as a cultural quarter driven by curiosity rather than just heritage. The project also highlights how AI-powered audience research is beginning to influence branding practices.
