Visit James Turrell’s Light Installation
at the Dorotheenstadt Cemetery

An Event for Friends of the Jewish Museum Berlin

James Turrell’s light installation Aural is currently on display at the Jewish Museum Garden. Join us to visit another one of his artworks in Berlin.

In collaboration with architects and light designers, he has created a unique spatial experience in the Dorotheenstadt Cemetery’s memorial chapel, which was completed in 1928. A range of light episodes bathe the chapel in different moods and enchant the viewer. After an introduction, experienced installation at sunset and immerse yourself in the site’s unique atmosphere.
