V&A East Wayfinding and Storehouse Interpretation Design
Authority: Victoria and Albert Museum (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionV&A East is one of the world’s most significant new cultural projects. V&A East’s two landmark sites will open at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, east London, in 2024 and 2025.
We’re seeking a design team to create the wayfinding & signage across both V&A East sites and to design the interpretation at V&A East Storehouse. We are looking for collaborators that share our vision to make arts accessible to all and who are committed to delivering cultural experiences that resonate with a diverse and underserved audience.
This is a rare opportunity to contribute towards the shaping of a new type of museum experience, one that looks behind the workings of the institution, that democratises the objects in our collection and foregrounds multiple voices and perspectives.
