A story you walk through
The story begins underground. Light from the Depths climbs through mining tunnels to the glow of the blast furnaces — light sculptures tell of the miners, the coal and the iron on which Ostrava was built. The industrial backdrop of Dolní Vítkovice gives the light show a power you will not find anywhere else.
