It is the sister to Eureka! The National Children’s Museum in Halifax, that opened in 1992, with this new site expected to attract around 180,000 visitors every year and contribute £12m to the local economy by 2032
It’s focused around STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) but designed to bring these subjects to life through fun, exploration, experimentation and designed to encourage curiosity.
Within this museum, we created a hero exhibit, the Climbing Tree which provides both a physical clambering and immersive experience within the central void space of the museum and visible from the car park, entrance and ticketing areas. You can see how that fills the available space over the two plus storeys here.
This key feature within the space builds excitement and provides a teaser or glimpse of things to come as they journey through the space.
The CGI’s show it would come to life and the scaling of the feature itself.
Offering multiple levels of explorative play, the Climbing Tree is designed to be suitable for all ages and abilities. You can see the finished play structure here, which is incredibly close to the initial CGI illustrations.
