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. |
