Description

This exhibition runs from Saturday 25th January 2025 to Tuesday 25th March 2025.


Looking for some winter sun? Be the first to see Luke Jerram’s newest and most ambitious design, Helios, at the London premiere at the Old Royal Naval College.

Co-commissioned by the Old Royal Naval College, this new seven-meter celestial artwork by the celebrated British installation artist will bring light and wonder to the majestic Painted Hall, one of the most impressive Baroque interiors in Europe. Helios promises a ‘sunny’ escape – sans passport- in an extraordinary setting, complemented by an exceptional programme of events celebrating wellbeing and culture.

Named after the ancient Greek and Roman sun god, symbolic of time and life, Helios honours the Sun’s profound impact on human history and culture. Every centimetre of the seven metre internally lit artwork represents 200km of the Sun’s fiery expanse. This is a rare opportunity to closely examine the star’s extraordinary surface in astonishing detail.
