From Wednesday 11 to Sunday 15 October, visitors will be able to experience dazzling light projections of elements, DNA and the great scientists in history and immersive soundscapes throughout Durham Cathedral
Thousands of visitors came to Durham Cathedral in October 2022 to see Life by Luxmuralis and were immersed in a journey through earth, sea and sky.
After the sell out success of Life, visitors are urged to buy their tickets early for Science - an entirely different show delving into chemistry and biology, exploring the history of science and how it has contributed to humanity and its understanding of the world.
Andrew Usher, Chief Officer: Visitor Experience and Enterprise at Durham Cathedral says,
“We’re delighted to welcome the artists behind Luxmuralis back to Durham Cathedral again. We've release the tickets much earlier this year as in 2022, the show was sold out from the first night with over 12,300 people visiting the cathedral during the five night run. We had a fantastic response to the artwork last year and we urge people to get their tickets early to avoid any disappointment. With a different show and a new route through the cathedral, we can't wait to see what Science brings to the cathedral this autumn."
By day the cathedral will appear as normal, then each evening, installations will be projected across all areas inside the cathedral.
The artwork will examine the link between science and religion, exploring the wisdom and beauty of both, while music will fill the cathedral to invigorate the senses. This awe-inspiring sound and light projection was created by the artistic collaboration Luxmuralis.
Their works have been touring cathedrals in England for several years.
Science by Luxmuralis is suitable for all ages and visitors will be able to experience the event from 6.45-9.15pm Wednesday to Saturday and on Sunday 6.45 - 9pm.
Entry to the cathedral is by a timed ticket only. Adults £9, Children (under 18) £5, Infants (under 3) free.
