AS SEEN BELOW – THE DOME,
A SKYSPACE BY JAMES TURRELL
The monumental new art work outside ARoS Aarhus Art Museum’ main entrance now has a title. The partly underground Skyspace created by the groundbreaking artist James Turrell will be called:
‘As Seen Below’
The title marks the transistion from construction project to art installation, and we are thrilled.
James Turrell explains that the piece is about shaping the very act of seeing:
“The architecture brings the sky close, so you realise that the act of perception itself is the work,” he says.
‘AS SEEN BELOW’ OPENS JUNE 19 2026

More than architecture, ‘As Seen Below’ is an experience.
A circular opening frames the sky above, turning it into a living canvas that shifts with light, time, and atmosphere. From sunrise to dusk, the colours of the sky seem to change before your eyes—revealing how perception itself can be shaped by space and light.
Part sculpture, part architecture, part meditation on seeing, the Skyspace invites visitors to slow down and look upward—discovering that the sky we thought we knew can appear entirely new when viewed from below.
Sometimes the artwork is not what we look at, but how we learn to see
