Marbles Kids Museum - Around Town Exhibit
project type: museums
Marbles is the product of a merger between two children’s museums in Raleigh, NC: Playspace and Exploris. Located in the old Exploris building in the heart of downtown Raleigh, Marbles is an energetic kid’s museum that is targeted to children 0-12. Design Dimension designed the “Around Town” gallery of the museum, located on the first floor. Creatively reworked existing components from Playspace (fire station, hospital, and cafe) were combined with freshly designed exhibits (infant area, farmer’s market, stables, garden, tree house, post office, southern porch, train tables, theater stage and behind the scenes dress-up and prop room) to create a visually exciting arena for play.
