About us

The National Science and Media Museum (NSMM) explores the science and culture of image and sound technologies and their impact on our lives. The Public Programme Team is key to this ambition.

The team brings alive the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) that impacts all our lives and inspires the scientists of the future through a wide range of exciting and engaging programmes, including exhibitions, events, festivals, community partnerships and schools and families' activities.

About the role

As Interpretation Developer, you will be responsible for crafting the interpretation and content for individual exhibition and projects ranging from small displays to large-scale blockbuster shows.

Crucially, you will interpret content for appropriate audiences and plan exhibitions, shaping creative curatorial content and text.
