Thanks all.

A quote about this luminarium by the Architects of Air which I visited in Noordwijkerhout:

Architects of Air build and exhibit the luminaria designed by Nottingham and Geneva based artist Alan Parkinson. Ixilum, inspired by Christian and Islamic ecclesiastical mosque architecture, is constructed of PVC vinyl cut and assembled by hand in a former lace factory. The visitor enters the structure to discover a landscape of columns, passages, and soaring spaces, all awash in glorious color.

Haha that's funny! I saw the luminarium last winter in Amsterdam . I was fed up with the fact that I did not bring my camera and I thought about you. Unfortunately I saw the luminarium only the last day in Amsterdam otherwise I would have called you. I am glad you saw it now anyway. And I agree with you this a nice object to take a photograph of.
