The Luminarium @ Bolton Street Car Park

 

Due to the persistent bad weather over the last few weeks we have had no choice but to move The Luminarium to the solid ground of Bolton Street Car Park. Opening times remain the same. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. 

The Luminarium is back at Spraoi and is bigger and better than last time. This year we have the Amococo, which is the most labyrinthine luminarium and is 80 metres in length. The Amococo features 86 triaxial domes and 71 pods that together create a complex of pathways where the visitors may happily lose themselves.

Built in 2008, Amococo’s common visual motif is the ‘oculus’ – an ovoid window that allows light to gently diffuse into the domes. This is most strikingly effective in the cupola of the central dome where the ceiling resonates with iridescent rainbow hues.

We suggest 20 mins is sufficient time to experience the Amococo.

Friday: 1pm -7pm (last admission)

Saturday: 12pm-8pm (last admission)

Sunday: 12pm-8pm (last admission)

Shoes and possessions are left in the reception area at the owner’s risk
