For our immersive exhibition Breathe | Mauri Ora, we have developed a sensory map that you can view below, and you can download a copy of it to your device before you visit and then have it with you in the exhibition.
Breathe | Mauri Ora includes large digital screens and some of the flooring is reflective, which helps to create an immersive experience. There are also some dark spaces in between
The icons on the map indicate the different experiences, seating, changes in environment, and facilities information.
