Canadian Museum of History: Exhibition Design for Hockey: More than just a game

The Canadian Museum of History (CMH) is seeking the services of a design firm to create a 650 m2 (7,000 ft2) exhibition for presentation at the CMH from March 9 to October 9 2017 — an exhibition that will also travel to partner venues. The selected firm will also be required to create a smaller 46–92 m2 (500–1,000 ft2) touring version, which must also be delivered by March 9, 2017. The design firm will work with CMH exhibition team to develop both versions of the exhibition, along with other consultants hired by the CMH.

The exhibition Hockey: More than just a game will showcase the key place hockey occupies in the hearts and lives of Canadians. The concept will be developed via three primary angles: sport, popular culture, and community. Within a theme-based environment, the team seeks to create an immersive visitor experience, evoking the various parts of an arena and the game’s main participants (players, managers, journalists, spectators, volunteers, etc.), in tandem with other elements (environments, objects, accessories, venues), designed to bring hockey to life while plunging visitors into the very essence of the sport.

The selected design firm will work with CMH exhibition team to develop both versions of the exhibition, along with other consultants hired by the CMH.
