  Exhibitions

An interactive educational exhibit designed for Please Touch Museum in collaboration with child development specialists. The immersive farm environment teaches sustainable agriculture through hands–on play, featuring planting beds, animal figures, and tactile elements that engage children’s learning styles. The exhibit was later realized and installed at the museum’s new location, closely matching the original design vision. ▤
