Aucklanders Are Going to Experience the Newest Luminarium

Aucklanders Are Now Going to Experience the Newest Luminarium - Arboria

Auckland Live is thrilled to announce that the inflatable Luminarium, ARBORIA will replace EXXOPOLIS these October School Holidays in Aotea Square. The giant inflatable sculpture that is ARBORIA is the newest and most impressive offering from the world famous Architects of Air.

ARBORIA and its four towering domes will radically transform Aotea Square, and Aucklanders of all ages are invited to to kick off their shoes, explore and discover in its tree inspired turrets and kaleidoscopic tunnels.

Luminaria are giant inflatable sculptures lit entirely by natural light. ARBORIA is dedicated to the theme of trees and the installation offers a dazzling maze of winding paths and soaring domes - between eight and ten metres tall - that give rise to a brightly luminous tree trunk and branches that reach overhead.

ARBORIA also offers audiences an amazing sound experience which originated in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest where musician and soundscape ecologist, Alice Eldridge, made recordings for biodiversity monitoring. To the forest and wildlife sounds Alice has added her own piano composition.

Built in 2015, ARBORIA comes to New Zealand for the first time after touring Switzerland, Germany and the UK.

More relaxing than a massage, more value than a movie, more captivating than a gallery, let your imagination run wild at ARBORIA.

Tickets already purchased by the public for EXXOPOLIS will be valid for ARBORIA.
