Barker’s Beach Store
By re-imagining Currumbin’s iconic beachfront store, established in 1919, this sculpture scales down the original weatherboard shopfront into a children’s cubby house. It serves as both an interactive play space and an immersive historical experience.
Come and see for yourself at SWELL Sculpture Festival, Pacific Parade, Currumbin 6th – 15th September.
