National Museums Liverpool (NML) is seeking the appointment of a Contract Administrator incorporating Building Surveyor and Quantity Surveying services to support the delivery of a permanent gallery redevelopment at the Museum of Liverpool at Pier Head Liverpool Waterfront, opening in November 2021. The Role of the Contract Administrator is to manage and coordinate the tendering process for the works packages, to assist with appointments and to manage the construction works and exhibition build on site, ensuring a dust-free conditioned gallery before artefacts arrive in October 2021. The appointment will continue through until the gallery is ready to receive the installation of all artefacts. The Museum of Liverpool is a leading city history Museum renowned for its work with communities. It explores how national and international events have shaped Liverpool, the diversity, character and creativity of its people. By 2030 it will attract 900,000 visitors annually. Wondrous Place is the name of a gallery at the Museum of Liverpool. It covers an area of 750 sqm and, together with a section of the Skylight Gallery, it explores the importance of Liverpool as a creative city, and the particular significance of music and sport to the city's identity. Wondrous Place and the Skylight Gallery were de-installed in January 2018 to host the Double Fantasy exhibition. Setworks, graphics, cases and multimedia units were moved and stored in various locations. Some of these assets will be re-used and other assets will be fully redeveloped as part of the refreshment and reinstatement programme. Wondrous Place opened just under 10 years ago and celebrates Liverpool's popular culture. Given its subject matter, from the outset the design and interpretation of the gallery relied heavily on digital content, with two large immersive theatres, and a significantly large number of audio-visual displays and interactives. The overall design and layout of Wondrous Place will remain the same, but this project gives us the opportunity to bring its content up to date to reflect contemporary culture and to be more inclusive and representative. Areas that will be updated include sections on Sport, Music and Creative Liverpool to include contemporary references, greater representation and inclusion of diverse communities and significant events. The co-curated elements of the gallery will also be replaced as a result of seven new collaborations with local community organisations. The gallery has 850 objects with circa 600 objects on loan from largely private individuals reflecting popular and contemporary culture.
