Myth and Reality Build Tender

Description

On 1st July 2025 the NAM will open a temporary exhibition entitled "Myth & Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria". The exhibition examines the role of military art in disseminating information to the public and influencing public opinion before the introduction of mass photography. The Victorian period saw a great deal of military reforms and changing attitudes to soldiers, which is reflected in the stylistic approach to the artwork. The exhibition showcases the Museum's Lady Butler collection and also shines a light on the female artists who recorded the military, but whose contributions were overlooked. There are a number of high-profile loan items from the Royal Collection on display. The exhibition will run from 1st July 2025 to 1st November 2026 in the new, Temporary Exhibition space which is approx. 306 sq metres. A suitably experienced contractor is sought to manufacture and construct the gallery structures, making good walls and decorating throughout, with the exception of the floor and ceiling which will not be painted.
