Poole Museum is looking to appoint an artist with a well-established track record as well as being an experience socially engaged practitioner, to develop a site-specific artwork of high artist quality as a permanent installation within the redeveloped galleries at Poole Museum.
The space for the artwork is a triple height void at the heart of the museum in Oakley’s Mill, running from the ground floor to reach the soffits of the second floor. The affordances of this space mean the artwork will have a central and high-profile presence in the museum passing through three of the new galleries.
Working predominately at STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway, the successful candidate will be responsible for assisting the delivery of the busy conferencing business whilst helping to develop an attractive events package that caters for the needs of our corporate and community sectors.

The great bustard has a dignified slow walk but tends to run when disturbed, rather than fly.
The hen-bird on display at The Salisbury Museum was one of the last great bustards to be eaten in the town!
