Miracoco Luminarium

Birdmen

A luminarium is a sculpture people enter to be moved to a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and colour. From the Guggenheim in Spain to the Sydney Opera House in Australia, the monumental and interactive walk–in sculptures of Architects of Air, designed by Alan Parkinson, have astounded audiences across the globe. The luminarium offers a dazzling maze of winding paths, soaring domes and scintillating light, creating a sense of wonder and enchantment for all ages. Visitors are transported and immersed into an amazing world for a unique sensory experience. Enter and be amazed. Wheelchair Accessible. Eyre Square 20–28 July, 11am–8pm [last entry] €5

Huge illuminated, mysterious creatures will roam the streets of Galway this July. Resembling an extinct species of skeletal pterodactyls, these luminous Birdmen can best be defined as a new species: the Technosaurus — a creature from the past and the future combined! Magical and hypnotic, these Birdmen are full of surprise. Come find out what they have to say.
