The National Maritime Museum - the largest Maritime museum in the world has just got bigger! High art, installations galore, and on our door step!
The Sammy Ofer Wing has finally opened its doors to the public. £36.5 million has been well spent on this state of the art exhibition space. A new brand identity by SomeOne has also helped to lift the profile of this established and much loved east London museum. Super slick exhibition areas designed by The Light Surgeons have also been pulling in the crowds. But the top gong has to go to whoever commissioned the first basement installation. High Arctic, an immersive, responsive environment created by United Visual Artists, will indeed blow your socks off. It's a dark, interactive, multi-sensory treat. Brilliant!
