Each night at dusk, the Field of Light magic hour will take full effect. As thousands of bulbs begin to light up the ground during sunset — a can’t miss visual wonder!
Field of Light comes from highly acclaimed British artist, Bruce Munro, who is best known for large-scale light-based artworks inspired by his study of light and his curiosity about shared human experiences. Munro creates art that captures his responses to literature, music, science and the world around him. His work has been commissioned by and displayed in special exhibitions in galleries, parks, grand estates, cathedrals, botanical gardens and museums around the globe.
“My hope is that the Field Of Light installation will inspire visitors to contemplate a kinder andmore connected world.” – Bruce Munro
