Chelmsford Cathedral was transformed this February by Luxmuralis: The Storytellers, an acclaimed immersive light and sound experience that captivated audiences over five nights from 10 - 14 February. Visitors were treated to a breath-taking journey through the art of storytelling, with the cathedral's walls illuminated in vibrant colour, sound and movement.
Luxmuralis utilises cutting-edge technology to turn historic buildings into vast canvases. At Chelmsford Cathedral, guests were guided through a 40 minute immersive adventure celebrating the power of stories. From classic literature and folklore to children’s favourites and timeless legends. Each artwork acted as a chapter of storytelling history, immersing visitors in the realms of famous authors’ imaginations, accompanied by a captivating soundscape.
Created by sculptor Peter Walker and composer David Harper, Luxmuralis is renowned for transforming sacred spaces, heritage sites and public venues around the world. Their installations aim to make fine art accessible, taking creativity into unexpected places and providing a unique opportunity to see art and culture in a new light.
A spokesperson for the cathedral commented,
“It was truly wonderful to see so many people engage with the installation. The response from visitors has been fantastic - everyone loved seeing the cathedral come alive in such a creative and colourful way they hadn’t experienced before.”
Luxmuralis: The Storytellers was generously sponsored by Chelmsford for you.
