Multiple large scale projected artworks explored the changes through this period , including Brunel and the age of steam, early photography and Zoetrope (an early animation device).

An amazing kaleidoscope of images in the Nave wrapped the architecture in projections from floor to ceiling , turning the space into a fully immersive experience and showcasing the Pre-Raphaelites (Burne-Jones, Millais, Rossetti and Holman Hunt) and the Impressionists (Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Manet and Renoir) – all titans of their generation seen in a new light.

Peter Walker said:
“It is wonderful to be bringing Illuminating Art to the Minster, one of the most beautiful buildings in the country. Visitors to our artwork may choose how they want to experience the exhibition, either basking in glorious images and sound or digging a little deeper and contemplating the big ideas that emerged after the Renaissance. It is their choice. Many paintings we know and love will be there but there will be areas that investigate what was happening when those pictures were created.”
