The Luminarium: A creative space for discussion

A 1,000 square metre inflatable and interactive art installation—Luminarium—was displayed on the lawn of the Palais des Nations for one week in June. The structure was sponsored by the United Kingdom Permanent Mission to the United Nations and open to UN staff, UN ground pass visitors, and school groups.
 
“This Luminarium will hopefully spark similar creativity in us as we enter to listen, learn, and share messages,” says UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay.
