The ArtPlay Pavilion will immerse under 8-year-olds in a sensory-rich play space, nestled in our gardens.

Step into a world of sensory wonder at the ArtPlay Pavilion.

Overlooking the Gallery’s beautiful Sculpture Meadow, this immersive play experience invites little ones to explore a playful, sensory-rich space inspired by the elements—sunlight, water, wind, and earth. Created by HoLD Art Collective, the space reimagines classic paintings from the Gallery’s collection as interactive adventures: slide through sunbeams, swing among the clouds, and rest on soft, sculptural forms designed for comfort and calm.

Perfect for babies, toddlers, and grown-ups alike, ArtPlay offers a joyful blend of movement, imagination, and relaxation—making it a must-visit for those looking to connect, unwind, and play together.
