Description

Under the open sky in the courtyard of the Zurich State Museum, you'll experience artistic projections on the facades. Electronically newly produced music gives familiar themes minimalist and contemporary depth.

The show impressively combines classical music, emotion, and technology. It invites you to briefly dream with open eyes.

The artist collective Projektil interprets Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung as a modern light spectacle. The visuals, sounds, and illusions create an intense experience between opera and digital art.

Practical information

  • The light show at the Illuminarium takes place outdoors in the courtyard of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich.
  • It features a large, immersive light projection displayed on the buildings and facades in the courtyard.
  • You stand or sit outside in front of this backdrop and experience the projections accompanied by music, sound, and narration.

Traveling with a wheelchair

  • The courtyard where the light show takes place is fully accessible, featuring a paved, level surface

Travelling with a stroller

  • The courtyard is easy to navigate with rehab buggies and prams
  • Access for families with prams or loaned buggies is arranged individually on site

Swiss Activity Tip

In the public areas of the courtyard, there are several ways to spend time before or after the light show. You can grab a bite at the Food Corner, where various stalls around the fireballs offer hot meals, sweet snacks, and hot drinks. For a cosy meal with friends, the Fondue Chalet is perfect; it is heated in the courtyard and serves cheese fondue, wine, and desserts.
