The Gaïa installation in Trinity College’s Long Room
Suspended majestically beneath the vaulted ceiling, Gaïa slowly rotates, offering a unique and striking perspective of the Earth. Every detail, captured thanks to NASA images, is an ode to the beauty of our world.
A stroll through the Long Room, Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction, will give you the chance to discover Gaia from every angle, and to enjoy an unforgettable visual experience.
