About Illumination

Illumination runs through Jan. 3. This is the 13th year for the interactive light, sound, and, in some cases, touch display, highlighting the beauty of nature. This year’s display includes the five Vivid Creatures…giant colorful animal sculptures that went up at the arboretum earlier this year.
