Vacancy for Exhibition and Interpretation Producer

Manchester Museum is looking for a freelance exhibition producer to support the final stages of content development for an upcoming partnership exhibition about the Anthropocene.

MAGNET (the Museums and Galleries Network for Exhibition Touring) consists of twelve museums and galleries who aim to pool resources, develop curatorial expertise, and share their collections with diverse national audiences, and encourage experimentation and risk in exhibitions, in subject matter and approach.

The MAGNET Anthropocene exhibition partnership is led by Manchester Museum and includes Derby Museums, The Great North Museum: Hancock, the Horniman and Norfolk Museum Service. We are heading into a six-month phase of accelerated, collective content development and are looking to appoint a freelance Exhibition and Interpretation Producer to drive this work and help us arrive at an Interpretation Plan and Design Brief which are owned by the whole Anthropocene exhibition partnership, and which are confident to deliver together.

The Producer will be appointed and managed through Manchester Museum, the Lead Partner, and will also support the management of the Anthropocene exhibition partnership, and co-ordinate Manchester Museum’s contribution through this content development phase.
