Our Installations
Discover our spectacular light installations.
Universal Loom at the Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics
Universal Loom will be a textile-like animated projection inspired by string theory, interpreting the woven nature of space and time.
Sacral at St Mary’s College
Sacral will be an ethereal sculpture, a ghostly surreal reconstruction of a cathedral transept, tracing the outline of Durham Cathedral.
Liquid Geometry at Palace Green
Liquid Geometry will create an immersive series of three-dimensional projections, visitors can walk amongst and underneath the mind-bending shapes.
Lumiere 2023 Programme
This year's Lumiere programme features over 40 installations and will be the biggest yet in Durham, extending beyond the city to Bishop Auckland, as part of a regular biennial spotlight on the wider Durham County. Free for everyone to attend.
Things To Do during Lumiere
Durham University is home to internationally important collections from across history and around the globe. We welcome visitors to our museums and galleries and garden. Located in two clusters, at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and to the south of the city, our venues are open year-round and are open to all.
