While not all know Bruce Munro’s name, arguably most would know – or recognise images – of his light installation that sits in the shadows of Uluru.

Field of Light Uluru was originally conceived in 1992, when the British artist took a road trip through central Australia. Over the nine years since opening in 2016, the installation has attracted over 730,000 people, and is one of the most celebrated immersive cultural experiences in the country. It has just undergone a major refurbishment and has been extended to 2027.
