Luxmuralis returns to the Old Royal Naval College, bringing ancient civilisations to life with Lost Worlds

This autumn, the Old Royal Naval College will be transformed after dark as Luxmuralis presents Lost Worlds, a spectacular new light and sound installation inspired by the myths, civilisations and natural wonders of the ancient world. Created by acclaimed artist Peter Walker with an original score by composer David Harper, the experience brings the Etruscans, Egyptians, Romans, Mayans and Anglo-Saxons to life through immersive projection, colour and sound.

At the heart of the installation is the magnificent Painted Hall. Three hundred years after Sir James Thornhill completed its celebrated artwork, Walker reimagines its iconic imagery through bespoke projections, turning Sir Christopher Wren’s architecture into a spectacular canvas of light. Ancient maps, astronomical knowledge, illuminated manuscripts, mythical kingdoms and fantastical creatures unfold across the historic buildings, creating a vivid journey through history, mythology and imagination.

The installation also reflects Greenwich’s maritime heritage, exploring themes of navigation, exploration and voyages into the unknown.

Combining cutting edge digital art with the Old Royal Naval College’s extraordinary architecture, Lost Worlds offers visitors a chance to experience this UNESCO World Heritage Site in a completely new light.

Dates: Friday 6th November – Sunday 15th November

Address: Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, London SE10 9NN
