RAINBOW STATION connects Amsterdam Central Station with space technology to create the largest artificial rainbow in the world.
Winner of LIT 2017 Lighting Design of the Year USA.
In collaboration with Leiden University, Studio Roosegaarde unravelled light into a spectrum of colours. Through a new liquid crystal technology developed for research on exoplanets, RAINBOW STATION takes the exact shape of the historic 125-year-old station roof. The artwork marks the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the railway station and the start of the UNESCO International Year of Light 2015.
RAINBOW STATION could be seen every day for a brief moment within one hour after sunset. The light and colour let fifty million travellers a year experience a magical moment at night. Now RAINBOW STATION travels to other places around the world.
