Twilight mode, however, will require special booking, as it occurs solely during the sunrise and sunset hours.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"575\" height=\"917\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" class=\"block-article-images__image\" alt=\"Artist James Turrell stands thoughtfully in one of his Skyscapes.\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/James-Turrell-As-Seen-Below-The-Dome-a-Skyspace-by-James-Turrell.-Foto_-Mads-Smidstrup-\u00a9-ARoS-2025-5.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJames Turrell, As Seen Below \u2014 The Dome,<br \/>\na Skyspace by James Turrell.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhoto: Mads Smidstrup \u00a9 ARoS, 2025<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a transformative moment for ARoS.
