The James Turrell Museum of the Hess Art Collection celebrated its opening on 22 April 2009 in Colomé, Salta Province, Argentina.

The museum is the only one in the world dedicated solely to the work of James Turrell, regarded as one of the most important contemporary light and space artists.

The museum – based on a plan created by the artist himself – showcases nine light installations and some major works on paper, representing five decades of Turrell’s career, in over 18,084 square feet (1,680m2) of exhibition space.

Among the works on display are Spread 2003, a 4,000 square foot walk-in environment of blue light as well as Unseen Blue 2002, the world’s largest Skyspace which surrounds an interior courtyard and reaches great intensity at sunrise and sunset.
