Queensland Museum Sciencentre, Brisbane, QLD

The new Sciencentre, which was previously based in Brisbane’s George Street, features 96 interactive exhibits throughout three galleries featuring distinct themes: Body Zone, Earth Space and Action Stations. The new glass entry provides the public with a window into the Museum as well as more visible access to the Museum and the new Sciencentre.

The project involved detailed staging of works as the existing back of house areas had to initially be relocated from level one to other refurbished areas within the museum to provide space for the new Sciencentre. NDY worked closely with architect Robin Gibson to create a facility that would capture the imagination of young people by spreading the message about science and technology.

NDY was involved with the striking new entrance to the museum, the new Cultural Centre Bus Station and floodlighting of the public art (a giant cicada). At all times during the project the existing museum remained open to the public.
