The museums cumulatively welcome more than 300,000 visitors every year.
We are seeking an experienced manager of a museum service or visitor attraction to operationally manage and develop the museums in Ipswich. It is an exciting time to join us as Ipswich Museum is soon to undergo a major NLHF funded £9m redevelopment, headed by Ipswich Borough Council.
You will be a key driver of this nationally significant project that will include the redisplay and reinterpretation of the Museum’s rich collections – including archaeology, natural history, world collections, and art. Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk, and a key aim of the redevelopment is to increase pride in the Museum in communities across the town. You will also be instrumental to Ipswich Museum’s greater inclusion in Ipswich’s communities. You will lead on the capital project’s £1m activity plan and the delivery of ambitious programmes at Christchurch Mansion which have previously included exhibitions based around Rodin’s 'The Kiss', the award-winning ‘Power of Stories’ exhibition which displayed costumes from the Marvel blockbuster, ‘Black Panther’ and this year’s ‘Creating Constable’ exhibition. Ipswich Museums hold significant national collections of Suffolk painters, John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough as well as other local artists. |
