II.2.4)Description of the procurement:

The National Science and Media Museum in Bradford is seeking to appoint a Lead Designer for its Sound and Vision Galleries Project.

The National Science and media Museum holds outstanding collections on the history of photography, film, television, and sound technology. The collections originated in the collections of the Science Museum, and have grown since 1983 into the one of the leading collections of image and sound technologies in the world. However, many visitors to the museum at present do not appreciate the quality or importance of the collections, as many of the key objects have in the past been poorly displayed and badly interpreted.

The Sound and Vision Galleries will form the core of the museum: the most important part of any visit. They will complement our interactive science gallery (Wonderlab), and our temporary exhibition spaces and our cinemas. They will enable visitors to make sense of their visit, making intellectual connections between Wonderlab, which explores the science of light, sound and perception, and the Sound and Vision Galleries, which will explore how technology as used these sciences.

At present the collections are displayed in a series of media-specific galleries (photography, film/animation, television). The Sound and Vision Galleries will bring together these different collections into a pair of connected galleries, arranged by theme rather than subject or classification, and relate historic technologies to the lives of our visitors.

The Sound and Vision Galleries will be an object-rich permanent exhibition that celebrates the collections, including the unique and significant items held by the museum and telling the story of the development of still and moving images and sound in a compelling story that binds the three core collections of photography, film and television.

The project will refurbish gallery spaces on levels 3 and 5 of NSMM and create improved visitor access and facilities, through the introduction of a new accessible lift and refurbished visitor toilets.
