Borealis art installation opens at Royal Albert Dock

An art installation called Borealis has arrived at Royal Albert Dock, attracting large crowds. Created by artist Dan Acher, Borealis mimics the Northern Lights using technology and natural elements. The display began on March 20 and will run until March 30. To ensure visitor safety, several measures have been implemented. Sean Morrison, the estate manager, mentioned that a "keep left and keep right" system is in place, and a one-way system could be introduced if necessary. Road closures on Salthouse Quay have also been set up to provide more space for attendees. Morrison expressed excitement about the event, stating that the response has been fantastic. He encouraged visitors to keep moving while viewing Borealis and to explore the area with refreshments in hand. Borealis first launched in Switzerland six years ago and has since toured across the globe. Dan Acher hopes the installation will unite people. He emphasized the importance of connection, regardless of differences, saying it creates a moment of joy for everyone.
