The successful candidate will play a key role assisting the Curator to research and deliver the museum’s new Permanent Collection Display. The display has been fully planned. It now needs to be executed.

This display communicates the museum’s vision, demonstrating the impact of design on everyone’s lives. It offers an examination of design in a new format.

Together the team ensure that the museum delivers an agenda-setting Permanent Collection Display for the Design Museum Kensington.

The role will be based at our Shad Thames offices but the post holder will also be required to work at the Kensington office as and when necessary.
