Gaia in St. Blasien Cathedral

An impressive art installation: renowned British artist Luke Jerram presents his oversized, internally illuminated globe "Gaia" in St. Blaise's Cathedral. He transforms the space beneath the cathedral dome into a floating, glowing blue image of our planet.

Sacred beauty
