☀️Helios by Luke Jerram has a way of stopping you in your tracks, especially when you see it through mirrors!🪞It’s the second-to-last weekend, so now’s the time to visit. You can turn up on the day, but advance booking is the best way to secure your slot, as numbers per session are limited.

Soaking up a bit of sun today @stalbansmuseums.bsky.social Helios 😎☀️
