Description

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to explore, interrogate, and respond to the vision, ethos, and overall approach for a unique and innovative new museum for Birmingham that is being developed by Birmingham Museums Trust, supported by Birmingham City Council and Science Museum Group. A Masterplanner is required as part of a wider team to deliver a feasibility study that researches and develops the site options, function, and business model for the development of a new museum for Birmingham, as a potential partnership between Birmingham City Council (BCC), Birmingham Museums Trust (BMT) and the Science Museum Group (SMG). A "launch" event will be held on 24th August 2021 at 12:30pm via Zoom where we will give a briefing on the project and provide space for Q&A.
