On the evening of June 19, 2026, King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the opening of The Dome at the ARoS Art Museum in Aarhus. During the visit, the King carried out the official inauguration of the artwork. The Dome houses As Seen Below, created by the American artist James Turrell and added to the museum’s collection as a new permanent centerpiece.
For the occasion, Queen Mary wore a new red geometric-print skirt from Natalia Gomez Studio, a Spanish designer label, paired with a white silk wrap blouse by Jesper Høvring. The Queen also wore earrings, hair ornaments, a ring, and a bracelet from the ruby set in the Royal Collection, inherited by King Frederik from his grandmother, Queen Ingrid.
As Seen Below is a Skyspace and an artwork in the ARoS collection created by the American artist James Turrell. Owing to its scale, quality, and distinctive expression, Turrell himself describes it as his most ambitious Skyspace to date.
