Astounding light installtions and other work by James Turrell

Land art aficionados are used to having to make long, difficult pilgrimages to the middle of nowhere to view such epic monuments as Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty (1970) or Walter De Maria’s The Lightning Field (1977).

Designed by Turrell himself, the museum will include nine light installations that showcase the artist’s conceptual preoccupation with light.
