Details
Each play experience engages a multigenerational learning strategy, encouraging carers and parents to share in stories extracted from objects within the museum collection. Multiple layers of engagement and all ages accessibility are designed into each story, addressing diverse learning styles and abilities. Consultation with Traditional Owners, artists from Wiradjuri Country and the Erub Island community of the Torres Strait enabled Arterial to include work from Indigenous artists.
The Jury‘s Statement
The lovingly designed play and adventure worlds testify to a high degree of creativity, stimulate children's imagination and invite them to go on a journey of discovery. An inspiring place not only for children, but also for parents.
