The National Building Museum Is Bringing the Beach Indoors This Summer
It's more like a fancy, adult ball pit.
Here's the next big museum stunt of 2015: The National Building Museum has commissioned the design firm Snarkitecture to build a beach inside the museum this summer.
"The Beach" will comprise nearly 1 million plastic translucent balls inside an enclosure, making for the most sophisticated Chuck E. Cheese–style ball pit ever constructed. A followup to last year's summer blockbuster exhibit—a labyrinth designed by Bjarke Ingels Group—the beach opens on July 4.
