The National Wax Museum Plus relocated it’s premises in 2017 to the historic Lafayette Building in the very centre of Dublin city. Ciara was heavily involved in the re-imagining of several interactive environments which integrated the museum’s existing wax figures, including the children’s area, the chamber of horrors, and the science area.
Ciara’s personal passion for children’s design prompted her to adopt responsibility for the full conceptual design and scenic execution of the Kid’s Wax World, alongside long time collaborator Gráinne Bath Enright. Ciara and Gráinne developed a vivid dreamlike space, filled with fantasy and adventure. Unsuspecting visitors journey through the wardrobe into an expansive walk through environment, complete with seasonal changes, mysterious castle ruins, 3D wacky twister, an underwater play area for the little ones, and much much more. The images below represent a sample of Ciara’s work from the project.
