Celebrating Success at the 2025 Museum + Heritage Awards

 

We’re thrilled to share that Showtown Blackpool was named Winner of Permanent Exhibition of the Year, and The Grand Egyptian Museum received a Highly Commended in the International Exhibition of the Year category at the 2025 Museums + Heritage Awards. Both projects were proudly supported by Greenway Associates as Cost Consultants, and it’s an honour to see them recognised among the best in the cultural and heritage sector.

 

The 2025 Museum + Heritage Awards

 

The Museums + Heritage Awards are widely regarded as the leading accolades celebrating excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievement across the cultural, heritage, and museum sectors.

Showtown is Blackpool’s first museum — a vibrant, fun-filled celebration of the town’s rich legacy of performance, seaside spectacle, and entertainment. Meanwhile, The Grand Egyptian Museum is a once-in-a-generation undertaking: a monumental new home for Egypt’s greatest archaeological treasures on the edge of the Giza Plateau.

To see both recognised among the finest projects of the year is a testament to the creativity, vision, and dedication of the entire teams involved. We’re grateful to have collaborated with such talented design partners—Casson Mann on Showtown Blackpool and Cultural Innovations on The Grand Egyptian Museum—and to the Museums + Heritage Awards for shining a spotlight on these achievements.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists across the categories — it was a memorable evening for the industry.
