## About this tender

Poole Museum is currently closed undergoing a major redevelopment. Our Museum: Rediscovering Poole's Maritime Heritage is a Â£7.7m project to transform Poole Museum, supported by an award of Â£2.24 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The project aims to transform the museum into an outstanding cultural centre and a modern, thriving cultural space and community hub, greatly enriching experience of Poole Quay and Old Town.\\r

\\r

Poole Museum is looking to appoint an artist with a well-established track record as well as being an experienced socially engaged practitioner, to develop a site-specific artwork of high artistic quality as a permanent installation within the redeveloped galleries at Poole Museum.\\r

\\r

The space for the artwork is a triple height void at the heart of the museum in Oakley's Mill, running from the ground floor to reach the soffits of the second floor. The affordances of this space mean the artwork will have a central and high-profile presence in the museum passing through three of the new galleries.
