Overview
Invisible Worlds is a major new permanent exhibition within the Eden Project’s transformed Core Building, that reveals the world beyond the senses: too big, too small, too fast, too slow, too far away in space and time. The centrepiece of the exhibition is at over eight metres tall, Infinity Blue, one of the world’s largest ceramic sculptures, with the added surprise of blowing out vapour rings!
