The Aperture museum after dark

An exhibition website for a museum of light, built to feel as playful as the rooms it describes.

Red and blue streaks of light over water at night

The brief

The museum's night programme sold out in person but barely existed online. They needed a site that could sell tickets and carry the atmosphere of the galleries.

What we did

Every exhibition gets a page of moving light made with plain CSS and a few lines of script, so it loads fast on a phone in a queue outside. Tickets take three taps.

They listened first and designed second. It shows in every screen.
