Designing for Saltaire's new museum
The Saltaire World Heritage Education Association (the Saltaire Collection’s parent charity) is seeking proposals from museum and exhibition designers to develop design concepts for a planned new museum in Saltaire.
Saltaire is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has a unique industrial, social and personal history dating back to the 1850s. The items in the Saltaire Collection help to tell these stories but currently have no permanent, physical public access. The new museum is an exciting opportunity to tell these stories and engage with a wide range of audiences.
The new museum site is central within Saltaire village. Building work is due to begin in Spring 2025 and complete in 2026. The successful designers will provide display and design concepts for the exhibition space within the museum and for two external spaces.
