Be among the first to witness Helios, the breathtaking new artwork by acclaimed British artist Luke Jerram. This awe-inspiring, seven-meter illuminated sculpture of the Sun offers an extraordinary and detailed view of our nearest star, with imagery scaled at 1:200 million.
Marvel at the intricate surface details, including sunspots, spicules, and solar flares—the same solar activity that brought the Northern Lights to the UK in 2024.
Complemented by a stunning surround sound composition by Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson, Helios connects audiences with the Sun’s vital role in life, health, and culture through an immersive experience like no other.
Why Visit?
- Experience the only venue in Northern England—and the first Cathedral in the world—to host Helios.
- Be part of history as Liverpool Cathedral becomes the first venue globally to display Luke Jerram’s celestial trilogy: Museum of the Moon, Gaia, and Helios.
- Reflect on the light and life-giving energy of the Sun in the magnificent setting of the UK’s largest Cathedral.
