Dazzling light trail brings 3D projections to the Old Royal Naval College

"It's also customised to each space, so there are the glowing chimneys in the Painted Hall, followed by a smaller light display in the undercroft. Then the chapel, which almost vanishes under the lighting display that fills it. Outside, one of the two Wren domes has been turned into a giant clock, and, curiously, the audio track reminds me of a blend of music from a Peter Greenaway movie and the terrifying rhyming chanting from the first time-themed Sapphire and Steel story."

"The lighting show is open until Saturday 22nd November, with timeslots available every 15 minutes between 5pm to 9pm. On Sunday 16th November, the Painted Hall will be closed due to private events. The rest of the Time route will remain open as usual. Visitors with Luxmuralis tickets are able to return to visit Connection and Identity at any other time before 25th January 2026."

For eight days the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich host Time by Luxmuralis, a light-and-sound installation that moves through the Painted Hall, Ripley Tunnel, Queen Mary Undercroft, the Chapel, Colonnades, and Courtyard. Animated, site-specific lighting customizes each space, including glowing chimneys in the Painted Hall, a smaller undercroft display, and a chapel interior transformed into a huge 3D cinema screen. One Wren dome becomes a giant clock. The audio blends music evoking Peter Greenaway with rhymed chanting reminiscent of early Sapphire and Steel. The show runs nightly 5pm–9pm until Saturday 22 November with 15-minute timeslots. Tickets cost £15 adults, £13.50 students, £12 ages 5–16, £43.50 family; under-fives free.
