Description

With this call for tenders, the National Museum of Denmark wishes to find a cooperation partner for the development, design, production and installation of the scenographic/presentational physical framework of an exhibition about Vikings. The National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen will open an exhibition in June 2021 about the Vikings with the working title ‘The Raid’. We will create an exhibition where communication of high-level expert information is combined with sensuous narrative angles which, overall, provides the visitors with a unique experience of the Vikings. With this call for tenders, the National Museum of Denmark wishes to find a cooperation partner for the development, design, production and installation of the scenographic/presentational physical framework of the exhibition, including audio-visual elements. The concept of the exhibition consists of two main features: 1) a basic exhibition of objects; and 2) a narrative/filmically run special exhibition which will change over time but which in connection with this call for tenders will be based on an account of a Viking raid. The basic exhibition will thus remain for the duration of the exhibition of 10 years and only change marginally in connection with new research results and an alignment to topics included in the special exhibition. But the nature and content of the special exhibition will change after a given number of years. However, theses changes of the basic exhibition and the special exhibition after the opening of the exhibition in June 2021 are not included in this tender. This call for tenders covers the following deliverables from the supplier: Consultations with the museum concerning concept, preparation of design, handling of production and set-up/construction/installation of the basic exhibition as well as the special exhibition ‘The Raid’. The task includes delivery and production/installation of audio-visual elements as per specifications.
