What is the BEACH?

• Designed by Snarkitecture, a Brooklyn-based design firm, the BEACH is an interactive 10,000 square foot installation in the Museum’s Great Hall.
• The BEACH is designed with an “ocean” filled with nearly 1 million translucent plastic balls and a shoreline spotted with beach chairs and tables.
