Beach
Australian National Maritime Museum 2026
Family Summer Program
Exhibition Design by Wendy Osmond
The Beach was an immersive multimedia and multisensory family space and exhibition. The play-and-chill-scape was conceived as several connecting zones of light, playful forms, for all-ages.
A shimmering wraparound digital beach panorama with a breezy soundscape, interactive rockpool floor projections and soft 'rock platform' seating.

The ramped exhibition gallery included contemporary and historical views of beachside life, by artists including Anne Zahalka, Max Dupain, Lola Ryan, Charles Meere and Ken Done.
The centrepiece was a 'big-blocks' soft sandcastle, with a lifeguard tower and chillout sunshade zone.
