Description

The Science Museum Group wishes to appoint a Supplier to provide the overall soundscape experience for the Science Museum Group’s Horrible Science exhibition due to open February 2026. The soundscape is imagined as a suite of compositions, which will help interpret the theme of each zone for a family audience.

This includes advising on speaker placement, materials, and other relevant audio specifications. The soundscape will support and synchronize with time-based elements such as AV, lighting, and sound-enabled exhibits. The sound designer will collaborate closely with the exhibition designers, AV integrator, and creative teams to ensure an engaging, immersive visitor experience
