About

'Play' is a universally popular pastime, so it is a natural choice as a theme for this children's exhibition. Conceived as a construction site, the exhibition features a puppet theatre and a series of water tanks fitted with customised interactives, including sound and light elements. The activity area is filled with hundreds of brick-sized foam blocks, and the kids (and their parents) can use to create an endless variety of buildings, from towers to temporary cubby houses.

The exhibition was the recipient of awards for its innovative design.
