"After a decade in development, the work, entitled As Seen Below - The Dome, will launch on 19 June 2026 at ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in Denmark. Visitors will enter the work through an underground, light-filled corridor before encountering the vast indoor domed space, where they can view of the sky through a circular hole in the ceiling. "Measuring 16 metres in height and 40 metres in diameter, As Seen Below will be the artist's most ambitious Skyspace to date," says a museum statement."
""I look forward to seeing how visitors encounter and interact with this work, my largest and most ambitious Skyspace in a public museum," the artist says. "With As Seen Below I'm shaping the experience of seeing rather than delivering an image." Other Skyspaces are housed at MoMA PS1 in New York ( Meeting, 1980-86/2016)-the first such work Turrell made in the US-and at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the UK ( Deer Shelter Skyspace, 2006)."
James Turrell will open As Seen Below - The Dome at ARoS Aarhus Art Museum on 19 June 2026, timed for the 2026 summer solstice. Visitors will enter through an underground, light-filled corridor into a vast indoor domed chamber with a central circular aperture that frames the sky. The dome measures 16 metres in height and 40 metres in diameter and will be washed with distinctive lighting that shapes the experience of seeing. The work is Turrell's largest Skyspace to be hosted by a public institution. Other Skyspaces exist at MoMA PS1 and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The installation is part of ARoS's The Next Level expansion. Turrell continues work on the Roden Crater land art project begun in 1979.
