Virtual Graffiti Wall
Practice the art of graffiti without the mess! THEMUSEUM’s Virtual Graffiti Wall allows you to express your creativity with the click of a button on the “light-powered” spray can. Mix and match colours, alter the “spray” of the spray can, and then admire your painted masterpiece – or…start the fun all over again!
Animation Station
Are you an aspiring filmmaker? Then take your skills to the test at the Animation Station, THEMUSEUM’s stop-motion animation studio. Plot your drama, frame-by-frame, in front of the camera using supplied props to inspire the next Steven Spielberg. And once Johnny has finally found his true love, or the giant centipede has swallowed the doomed automobile, play it back to your surrounding audience and enjoy! Click here to watch your uploaded animation!

Bed of Nails
A favourite of visitors to THEMUSEUM, come lie on the Bed of Nails platform and hold down the button that slowly raises a series of nails, lifting you up!
Shadow Play
The large white screen on the main floor is the Shadow Play. Turn the coloured lights located behind the screen on and off to create multi-coloured shadows. Dance, pose or wiggle and watch your shadow move with you. How many shadows are there when all of the lights are on?
Geo-Terraces
These are in the centre of the Grand Atrium. Unlike school and home, you don’t have to clean up your toys!

Thoughts Flow Water Table
Alter the speed, direction, or height of the water as you create patterns and pathways with the panels! How many different ways can you direct the water? Can you have a boat race?
Pin Wall
Push your hand, chest, or back into the Pin Wall then see the impression you’ve left. But make sure you don’t put your face on the Pin Wall.
Magnetic Wall
Create words, shapes and connect the gears!
Sol LeWitt Art Installation
Along our Atrium staircase you can discover an art piece unlike any other: white Styrofoam overtop a dark blue wall. This piece, by renowned American artist Sol LeWitt, is said to resemble cracking ice, and exemplifies the unique design he was known for.
