Glow: A Cinematic Moodscape
A two-story immersive installation exploring six aesthetic themes of cinematic light and color -- sunrise/sunset, moon, neon, candlelight, fireworks, and campfire -- via synchronized projections and an original score.

The Hurd Gallery rises 34 feet through two floors of the museum, and this show fills that height with projected film images, synchronized with the room's own lighting and an original score.
You begin on level 2, and the installation carries on into level 3. The montage is built around six kinds of light that filmmakers keep returning to: sunrise and sunset, moon, neon, candlelight, fireworks and campfire, pulled from films across genres, countries and decades. The projection system comes from Christie, the cinema-technology company.
The museum doesn't list the films, so come for the mood rather than a checklist of scenes. It's free with museum admission ($25 for adults), suitable for all ages and wheelchair accessible. The museum is open 10am to 6pm, closed Tuesdays, with discounted entry after 4:30pm.
