Description

This exhibition will be the major exhibition for the Museum of London Docklands for 2020. The exhibition will run from 3 April to 25 October 2020. This Design Services tender is to include 3D, 2D and lighting design. The fixed fee for design services is £20,000. The budget for setworks and graphics is £80,000. The build budget is supplemented by the Museum's existing stock of showcases, AV hardware and lighting supplies.

As the archaeological discovery and the exhibition have not been publicly announced, designers will be required to sign an NDA before being able to access further details and all sections of the tender.

Exhibition concept
The exhibition will focus on an outstanding archaeological discovery made in autumn 2018 in outer London. The discovery has not been announced to the public yet as it is subject to the Treasure Act. The exhibition will show the find in its entirety and it will be the first time the archaeological discoveries will be on display to the public. In addition, the exhibition will focus on the different processes behind the discovery, conservation and research of the finds, highlighting their importance and placing them into the wider archaeological context of the Thames valley.
