The National Building Museum has created an interactive installation called "the beach," featuring not only a sea of balls but also beach chairs for everyone to relax on. (Image source / dezeen)

The atrium space of the National Building Museum is spacious, and paired with its high ceilings, it has an impressive presence. Looking down from the upper floors to the first floor, nearly a million white bubble balls form an alternative ocean. Many parents take their children to the museum to play during the "the beach" exhibition period. Some swim in the ball pit, some dive into the balls, some slowly move through the balls, and when tired, they rest on the nearby beach chairs under sun umbrellas, filling the space with summer imagination.
