In the year of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s Coronation, Luxmuralis working in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, created ‘Crown and Coronation’ a spectacular sound and light artwork. This was the first ever sound and light show for the Tower of London’s interior architecture and first ever night event open for visitors to attend. With special access for viewers to see the Crown Jewels at night within the display.
Throughout 2024 ‘Crown and Coronation’ is on Tour around the UK. See details below:

In 2024, the ‘Crown and Coronation’ art installation embarks on a UK-wide tour, sharing this remarkable collection with more people than ever before. For those who can’t visit the Crown Jewels in person, they can now experience these awe-inspiring objects via stunning images and a dramatic soundscape, projected at iconic landmarks and locations such as Exeter, Ely, Carlisle, Wells, Winchester and Canterbury.
The light show launches just months after the world witnessed the Crown Jewels in use at a Coronation for the first time in 70 years. Earlier this year, Historic Royal Palaces unveiled a transformed Jewel House, exploring more stories than ever before about the history and significance of the collection. The Tower has been home to the collection for nearly 400 years and the Crown Jewels were returned back on display following their use in the 6 May ceremony. Charles Farris, Public Historian for the History of the Monarchy at Historic Royal Palaces, said, “The Crown Jewels hold deep religious, historic, and cultural significance, and we are really excited to be bringing this magnificent collection to people around the UK in this historic coronation year. Through spectacular imagery projected throughout the historic inner ward of the Tower of London, and an emotive soundscape, Crown and Coronation will immerse visitors in the rich history of the British monarchy, Coronations, and the Crown Jewels. After a highly anticipated run at the Tower of London we look forward to taking the show on tour around some of the most iconic buildings in the UK in 2024.”
