Shaping the Body – invitation to tender for exhibition design

York Museums Trust is inviting tenders for the development and delivery of a brand-new exhibition the Shaping the Body exhibition.

This exciting new project will bring together costume, art and archaeology from the collections across York Museums Trust to reveal the many factors that have an impact on body shape across the centuries; from economic circumstances and cultural ideas to technological changes, fashion and diet.

The exhibition will involve extensive refurbishment of York Castle Museum’s historic gallery spaces, the development of the exhibition narratives, interactive content and interpretation, and the preparation of graphics. All of this will be done in close consultation with the YMT curatorial, learning, marketing and senior management teams.

Full details can be found in the Invitation to Tender.

Deadline: 12:00pm Monday 6th July 2015
