As Seen Below The Dome, a Skyspace by James Turrell at ARoS Aarhus Art Museum

Discover As Seen Below at ARoS in Aarhus, a unique work of art by American artist James Turrell. In this monumental, dome-shaped Skyspace, light, sky, space and time come together in a sensory total experience – the world's largest in a museum space.

A sensory and unique experience

At ARoS, Aarhus Art Museum, a truly special art experience awaits: As Seen Below The Dome – A Skyspace by James Turrell. This installation is part of the museum’s permanent art programme and offers a meditative encounter with light, colour, and perception – in harmony with the ever-changing sky.

The Skyspace consists of a circular room with a central, round opening in the ceiling, where both natural and artificial light shape the atmosphere. Here, you can sit down and let yourself be immersed in the shifting sequences of colour that transform your perception of the space and the sky above.

Light artist James Turrell

James Turrell is one of the world's most prominent light artists and has created over 100 Skyspaces worldwide.

The light interacts with the natural sky, making each experience unique, depending on the weather, time of day and season. The experience in As Seen Below unfolds particularly beautifully at sunrise and sunset.

Part of The Next Level

As Seen Below The Dome is the first part of ARoS’s major expansion project The Next Level, which in the coming years will add even more outstanding art experiences to the museum – both above and below ground.
