In 1996 Stroom: the contemporary arts centre in Den Haag commissioned this permanent sculpture in public space; the crater shaped space being the centre of the work. The centre holds a simple and classic viewing platform, lying back on this bench you experience the sky like a dome. A place to gaze at the sky like it were a vault.
Celestial Vault is not a tourist attraction as such, most often it is completely deserted. You therefore get your own private sculpture which certainly adds to this meditative experience.
