Balloon Museum: Emotion Air

So popular has the Balloon Museum's first installation in London been that the interactive experience Emotion Air has been extended until the end of the Easter school holidays. A visit is an immersive experience in mostly gigantic inflatables, ingenious in design and inviting to the touch.

Star of the show is undoubtedly the swimming pool-sized ball pit called Hyperfeeling, where, on a timed basis, families can plunge and 'swim' among the two million balls that surge under a constantly changing central globe.

Lucas Zanotto's Squeezed In

The artists who create such works are impressively inventive. A sea monster looms spikily overhead in Voyage by Kalman Pool, while there are friendlier faces in Lucas Zanotto's Squeezed In.

'How is it done?' is the most common question of families delighted and puzzled by Karina Smigla-Bobinski's Kaleides, a series of tables to clamber on. Kids who squish and marvel at the slithering pools of colour are further rewarded by having their image projected on the gallery wall.

Playground Love by Michaela Picchi

Sometimes the simplest idea is most effective. Playground Love by Michaela Picchi is a row of colossal balls to roll, while Tom Kubli's Black Hole Horizon blows random bubbles through the horns of three rudimentary instruments. And who ever tires of bubbles? This one's huge! This one's wonky!! This one's landing on ME!!!
