Opportunity overview

The Natural History Museum has launched NHM150, an ambitious transformation programme leading up to its 150th anniversary in 2031.

This second phase will form part of a funding application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). As part of Phase 2 the Museum is tendering for the exhibition design for the following 4 galleries: •the Old General Herbarium •Origins Gallery •Dinosaur Gallery 1 •Dinosaur Gallery 2
