The design for this children's interactive museum exhibit features a simulated rock out cropping with sand-filled pockets. Artifacts are buried in the pockets for children to find using typical archaeological tools. When children find an artifact, they take it to a booth for identification and dating.
The use of a blue ceiling with indirect lighting and simulated clouds creates an outdoor feel and also enhances the acoustics of the room.
