The Shylight experience, loved by audiences around the world, is designed by studio DRIFT. The stunning installation of movement and light is formed of large-scale moving sculptures inspired by plant biology and flowers that close their petals at night.
Suspended from the ceiling above the museum’s iconic staircase and entrance foyer, Locke Hall, the 11 individual Shylights are formed of multiple layers of silk and powered by robotics.
The Shylights can be seen dancing down from the ceiling whilst opening up, echoing the blossoming of a flower, then beginning to close and retreat upwards again, all at different times, creating a beautiful and mesmerising experience.
