Celebrating 10 Years of Field of Light – March 2026
In 2026, we celebrate 10 years of Field of Light – Bruce Munro's iconic installation that brings the desert at Uluru to life with more than 50,000 glowing spheres. First imagined by Munro in 1992, the artwork came to life on Anangu Country in 2016, and has welcomed over 750,000 visitors seeking moments of calm, colour, and connection.
To celebrate this milestone, Bruce Munro will return to Ayers Rock Resort from 27-29 March for special introductions to Field of Light experiences, and live Q&A sessions.
Discover the story behind Field of Light and how you can be part of the 10-year anniversary celebrations.
