A FREE, fun and engaging sensory mostra where creativity knows no bounds. 

Join us in our gallery The Store for a one-of-a-kind experience masterminded by Slow Art Collective. Children and their grown-ups become hands-on creators of immersive artworks, adding their creative touch to woven fabric sculptures, musical structures, robotics and household lighting devices. Pavilion 24 uses recycled and repurposed materials to make a giant, playful sensory installation.
