SAND IN THE CITY

NATIONAL WOOL MUSEUM

Exhibition design and exhibition graphic design adapted from the original design by Sydney Living Museums / Production / Installation

The beach came to the National Wool Museum with Sand in the City, a playful, sand-filled, interactive installation, adapted from the Sydney Living Museums exhibition. More than 1.8 tonnes of sand was used to create Sand in the City, which explores the popular beaches of Geelong and the Surf Coast. The exhibition included 300,000 LEGO bricks for kids to build with and two ‘hands-in’ augmented reality sandboxes, a giant two-metre high sandcastle, and models of some of the coastline’s much-loved landmarks created by LEGO certified builder Ryan McNaught.
