Amarna


James Turrell harnesses the numinous potential of light and space; kind of like what God would do if He had a degree in architecture.


We see Amarna as an elevation of the museum’s hitherto subterranean ponderings of the human condition. If that sounds vague, that’s because Turrell’s art must be seen to be believed; or, perhaps, not seen, but believed nonetheless.

Note: Because we're building stuff nearby at the moment, we can't guarantee that Amarna will be active at all of the times listed below.
