The venue:
The Basilica of Saint Mary

Begun in the early 20th century, the Basilica of Saint Mary is a jewel of sacred architecture located in the heart of Minneapolis. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style, it was completed in 1914 and became the first basilica established in the United States. Its elegant dome, soaring twin towers, intricate stone carvings, and magnificent stained-glass windows make it a remarkable landmark. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Built to serve the growing Catholic community of the city, it has stood through times of social change, economic challenges, and world conflicts, all while maintaining its central role in Minneapolis’ spiritual and cultural life. The basilica now welcomes thousands of visitors and worshippers each year and remains one of the most enduring symbols of Minnesota’s heritage.

Organizer's Words

"With this new show in Minneapolis, LUMINISCENCE continues the same mission that has driven us from the beginning: to reveal the emotional power of heritage through an artistic, immersive and accessible experience for all. The Celestial Odyssey continues our approach: to make sacred places vibrate by opening them to a new form of storytelling, which touches all generations, all cultures, all sensibilities. We are convinced that heritage should not only be looked at, but felt. Through light, sound and narration, we hope to offer everyone a suspended, intimate, universal moment — a fresh look at monuments charged with history and memory."
