The project involves the refurbishment of an exhibition space and the construction of the 'Beyond Burma' exhibition.

This tender represents a potential opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and exhibition services to engage in a culturally significant project with a high-profile public institution. Suitable candidates will be those capable of adhering to specific requirements such as the off-site manufacture and on-site build expertise, confirming measurements, and producing As Built drawings.
