Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s Light Organ exhibit has been extended for an extra month due to its popularity among visitors.

Audiences of all ages are still being invited to sing, talk and clap into microphones to activate the series of pipes that transform noises into a sculptural display of colourful lights.

The interactive light and sound artwork, which was installed in Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s chapel in November, was originally supposed to close on Sunday, January 21.
