Engaging History Timeline Displays
A visual representation of the past, a timeline wall display is the most effective way to get your students engaged and inspired by historical events. Our bespoke wall art is always tailored around your school’s curriculum, highlighting key events and facts that you want your students to remember. We will work with you to design, manufacture and install an inspirational timeline wall display that ignites curiosity in your students, reinforces classroom learning and sparks discussion.
With over 14 years of experience transforming schools, the Design for Education team will use a thoughtful combination of images, facts and quotes to engage students. The aim is always to present historical information in a visual way that’s easily digestible and accessible to all students and to help younger students understand chronology. Bare corridors or unused walls will be transformed into inspirational learning spaces! Whether you require a history timeline showing the rise and fall of the Roman Empire or a literary timeline showcasing famous authors through the ages, from William Shakespeare to Agatha Christie, our team can bring your vision to life.
The process starts with a free site survey. A member of our team will discuss your space, needs and available budget and provide you with an initial quote estimate based on your requirements. A bespoke timeline design, manufacturing and installation are always included, whether you’re looking to transform just one history classroom or add visually appealing timeline displays to every corner of your school.

Timeline Wall Art FAQs
1. What Subjects Can Timeline Wall Art Cover?
We can design, manufacture and install timeline wall displays for a wide range of subjects. In fact, timeline wall art can cover virtually any subject in your curriculum. While timelines are most commonly utilised in History, they can also work for Maths, Science, English, Music, Art, Geography, and Drama. You can even showcase the history and achievements of your school staff, students and alumni through a timeline wall display. All of our timeline displays are created in accordance with your school’s branding and are fully tailored to your curriculum.
2. How Do You Ensure The Timeline Aligns With Our Curriculum?
Our team will work closely with you to ensure that every detail of your bespoke timeline wall display aligns with your curriculum requirements. We’ll work collaboratively with key stakeholders on a design brief to ensure key learning objectives, topics and themes are included in the final design. Your school colours, messaging and branding will also be included to ensure your timeline mural fits seamlessly with the rest of your school.
3. Can We Include Our School’s History In a Timeline Display?
Yes, absolutely! We can create a bespoke timeline display dedicated to your school’s heritage, including founding dates, key milestones, alumni successes and notable awards. It’s a great way to instil a sense of pride in students, staff and visitors and showcase your school’s or MAT’s amazing history.
4. Where Can Timeline Displays Be Installed?
Our timeline displays are made from high-quality and durable materials and can be installed in almost any suitable space across your school. This includes hallways, corridors, classrooms, libraries and reception areas. Our wall art can even be installed outdoors!
5. Can You Work Within Our Budget?
Yes, we can tailor our designs to work within your budget and ensure you get an impactful transformation without exceeding your budget. Whether you’re looking to transform one history classroom, your entire history department or even your entire school, you can expect the same high level of care and attention to detail from our team. No matter how small your budget is, you’ll receive a fully bespoke timeline design that meets your school’s needs. Following a free remote or in-person site survey, we’ll provide you with a free no-obligation quote estimate for the wall art you require so you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed.
6. What Materials Are Used For The Wall Displays?
We use a range of high-quality, durable materials, including vinyl, single-piece wall wrap, foamex and dibond. All our materials are designed for school environments and are fire-rated, wipe-clean, and securely installed to ensure the safety of your students and staff. Our wall art is also suitable for use outdoors.
7. How Long Does It Take To Create And Install A Timeline Display?
The timeframe will depend on the size and complexity of the project, but most timeline mural projects take between 4 and 8 weeks to complete. This includes the design, production and installation of your bespoke wall art. Be aware that installing one timeline wall display will be a much quicker process than installing multiple different timeline displays across your school. Once we’ve conducted a full site survey, we’ll be able to provide you with a clear schedule so you know how long your project will take.
8. Can You Install Wall Displays Outside of School Hours?
Yes, we can schedule your timeline wall display installation at a time that suits you, including outside of school opening hours.

9. Do You Offer a Guarantee?
Yes, we offer an industry-leading 5-year guarantee on all wall art installations, giving you peace of mind that your school’s transformation is a worthwhile and long-lasting investment.
