Cities, towns and tourist attraction usually recruit a celebrity to switch on their Christmas lights.
But when The Holburne Museum in Bath had a bright idea for this year's festive decorations, they recruited an artist instead.
The stunning Field of Lights is the work of acclaimed lighting expert Bruce Munro and it will be seen by the public for the first time when the switch is thrown on Saturday.
The free exhibition is a beautiful maze of more than 5,000 bulbs planted in the museum grounds, on acrylic stems are topped by frosted spheres which are threaded with fibre optic cables and lit by a colour projector.
The seed for Bruce Munro's inspiration to create this artwork was planted nearly 20 years ago while travelling in Australia.
He became transfixed by the way in which the barren desert would burst into bloom after rainfall. For that reason, his Field of Light lies dormant during the hours of day light, but when darkness falls the bulbs flower in transfixing patterns of light and colour.
“I think it is a piece with universal appeal and I’ll be happy if it makes people smile at Christmas time。” said Munro.
据英国《每日邮报》11月25日报道,每逢圣诞节,英国的各大城市、城镇以及旅游景点通常会招募一位名流来为这些地方开启圣诞灯。
但当英国巴斯市尔本博物馆的工作人员对今年的圣诞节装饰有了一个好点子后,他们却招募了一名艺术家。
