The Queen’s Wall

Mary Moore and Sandpit

The oldest mainland theatre in Australia, the Queen’s Theatre, has been brought to life with a stunning 32-metre artwork created by acclaimed visual artist Mary Moore in collaboration with interactive media specialists Sandpit. Drawing on over a decade of research, the artwork encapsulates seven pivotal stories from the Queen’s Theatre’s fascinating timeline, offering a vibrant visual journey through its many incarnations.

To enhance this dynamic retelling of history, Sandpit has developed an interactive App. By scanning the mural with their mobile devices, visitors can bring the figures on The Queen’s Wall to life, explore the interior of the theatre as it appeared during each historical moment, and enjoy immersive audio scenes or imagined interviews with the artwork’s featured characters.

Commissioned by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, and delivered by Guildhouse, The Queen’s Wall offers a unique blend of art, history, and technology.
