Why Luminarium: Myriad Is an Experience Worth Stepping into This Easter
There are some experiences that invite you to pause, breathe, and reconnect — not just with art, but with yourself and the people you’re with. Luminarium: Myriad at Woolwich Works is very much one of those moments, and it’s arriving in London just in time for the Easter break.
Created by the world-renowned Architects of Air, this walk-through installation isn’t about rushing from one thing to the next or ticking off a cultural checklist. Instead, it gently encourages you to slow down and explore at your own pace, stepping inside a glowing, immersive world shaped entirely by light, colour, and space.
From the moment you enter, the outside world seems to soften. Natural daylight filters through translucent walls, filling the winding tunnels and soaring domes with rich, radiant colour. Every step feels different, every turn revealing new patterns and hues. An ambient soundtrack hums quietly in the background, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, curious, and surprisingly restorative.
What makes Myriad so special is its ability to speak to everyone in different ways. Children instinctively respond to the sense of play and wonder — darting through tunnels, gazing up at glowing ceilings — while adults often find themselves unexpectedly moved by the tranquillity of it all. It’s one of those rare experiences where generations can share the same space and come away with their own, personal sense of delight.
There’s no right route through the Luminarium, and no pressure to move quickly. You might wander together as a family, pause in a quiet corner with a friend, or even lie back and simply take in the colours shifting above you. It’s art you don’t just look at — it’s art you feel.
For those of us who often crave moments of calm amid busy lives, Myriad offers a gentle kind of escapism. Powered entirely by natural light and designed to be inclusive and accessible to all, it feels thoughtful, welcoming, and refreshingly unpretentious. It’s just as suited to a mindful solo visit as it is to a family day out or a relaxed meet-up with friends.
Running from Tuesday 2 April to Monday 6 April, Luminarium: Myriad is also a brilliant option for the Easter holidays — affordable, memorable, and a little bit magical. At £8 per ticket, with great value group options, it’s an experience that feels generous as well as inspiring.
Whether you’re looking to spark curiosity in younger minds, spend quality time together, or simply step into a space that allows you to slow down and feel present, Luminarium: Myriad is a beautiful reminder of how powerful light, colour, and shared moments can be.
