Colorful stained glass on the dome drum

Light is a material. The drum’s windows make it sing.

Notes

  • Color and mood variations by time of day.
  • How glass interacts with fresco and marble.
  • Quiet moments near the crossing.

Where to Stand

  • Near the crossing for layered light.
  • Along the nave for color gradients.
  • Side chapels for quiet observation.

Bottom line: The dome’s drum teaches you to see time in color.
