Project description:
The Centre for Life wanted to create a gallery that encouraged families and children to explore the science of how our brains work. We were asked to lead the design of the exhibition.
The aspiration was to create an exhibition that would ignite families’ and children’s interest in neuroscience. Making this complex topic engaging and accessible for all was key. Working in close collaboration with Life’s internal team, we translated their core content into an exciting, themed space, filled with hands-on interactives and experiences that encourage visitors to explore the world of neuroscience and what it reveals about ourselves. We were also involved in the construction and installation of the exhibition, helping Paragon Creatives realise our designs.
In 2019 Life appointed us again, to develop their Space Gallery.
