St. Louis Aquarium, St. Louis, MO

Located in the historic Union Station, thematic lighting is designed to evoke a Victorian-era train station and compliment the guests on a journey from the bank of great rivers to the ocean shore and down to the frigid depths. The immersive experience is created through a variety of colored lighting and beam spreads working seamlessly together. Fixtures are filtered and shielded so that light sources are concealed from view, while providing textured layers that create drama and excitement both on land and underwater.
