LEVEL 4

See the world from a new perspective.

Breathe | Mauri Ora illuminates the hidden forces surrounding us, revealing the sublime through sensory journeys beyond our everyday perception. From the roots of a majestic Amazonian tree to the unseen branches of the body and the birth of galaxies, this immersive experience explores the rhythm that cultivates and connects all life – breath.

 

Digital artworks on a grand scale

This exhibition features major digital artworks on an awe-inspiring scale from London-based collective Marshmallow Laser Feast. Through guided meditation, large-scale video works, and interactive experiences, visitors evolve from droplets of water to plants, cells, and stars, becoming part of the cycle of life and the cosmos.

An optional VR experience immerses you in the journey of breath. Buy tickets at the Tickets desk on Level 2.
