The sprawling exhibition is cleverly structured as a complete 24-hour cycle - taking visitors from dawn through high noon, sunset, and deep into the night - with each gallery reflecting a different part of the day and the stories attached to it.
It opens with works by Patrick Caulfield, Barbara Hepworth and Sinta Tantra before moving into Dawn, which traces how early cultures understood the sun and moon as cosmic forces.
At the midway point of the exhibition is the breathtaking Helios, a giant six-metre illuminated sphere by British artist Luke Jerram. It's constructed from 400,000 photographs of the sun provided by astrophotographer Dr Stuart Green along with NASA observations. Visitors are invited to sink into deckchairs beneath it, and look up as the work slowly glows overhead, while a specially composed ambient soundtrack by Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson reverberates around the space.
