Experience Stuttgart’s extraordinary festive light show this winter
This year, we’re helping the Germany city of Stuttgart create a lighting spectacle in Schlossplatz that’s sure to take your breath away over the festive season and beyond. We’ve designed meter-high (and sometimes higher!) 3D light sculptures that celebrate 8 of the city’s tourist highlights, including the Stuttgart television tower, Wilhelma; the Mercedes-Benz Museum; the Porsche Museum; the funeral chapel; the Wasen; and two popular musicals on in Stuttgart, “Anastasia – The Broadway Musical” and Disney’s “Aladdin”.
And if the light sculptures themselves weren’t impressive enough, they will also form part of a stunning light show that will start every hour on the hour once the sun has set.
