Houston's James Turrell Skyspace

Experience the magic of light and space at Houston's Museum of Fine Arts, where you can immermerse yourself in "The Light Inside" by renowned American light and space artist James Turrell. This installation uses hidden neon lights and a specially designed space to create a fantastical environment as you walk through. 🌟✨ At Rice University in Houston, there's another Turrell masterpiece, the "Twilight Epiphany" Skyspace. I visited this architectural wonder on campus during a free afternoon. It's a pyramid-shaped structure with rooftop lights that sync with sunrise and sunset, offering a mesmerizing view of the sky blending with the illumination through its opening. 🌅✨ It would be even more spectacular at sunset, with a 40-minute light show that's truly a must-see! This Skyspace is the first to be acoustically designed, making it perfect for live music performances and electronic music. It serves as a performance lab for students, faculty, and visiting artists at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music. 🎶 After exploring the Skyspace, take a leisurely stroll around Rice University, often referred to as the "Harvard of the South." The campus is filled with historic buildings and a rich academic atmosphere that's worth experiencing. 🎓 #LookUpArt #ArtArchitecture #Houston #HoustonPhotos #HoustonTravel #Architecture #Architect #ArchitecturalDesign #ArchitecturalAesthetics #RiceUniversity
