Cistern Illuminated

This winter, beginning November 25, Buffalo Bayou Partnership is offering a new way to encounter the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. Designed by local artist and engineer Kelly O’Brien of Fenris, Cistern Illuminated features undulating lights that provide a unique perspective on this cavernous underground space. The custom temporary lighting will amplify the reservoir’s 221 columns, adding a new dimension to the reflection in the glassy water below.

On view: November 25, 2022 – January 8, 2023
Times: Wednesday through Sunday, every other hour from 11am – 5pm; Fridays every other hour from 11am – 7pm
Tour capacity is 30 people.

Tours of Cistern Illuminated will be punctuated by special performances by the Schola Cantorum of the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. Learn more about the schedule and purchase tickets here.
