At Damanhur, art is not decoration — it is practice. Every mosaic in the Temples, every musical composition, every sculpture was created by community members as a spiritual act — an offering to the collective vision and to future generations.
The School of Sacred Art (Damanhur Crea nucleus) trains practitioners in mosaic, painting, sculpture, sacred music, and digital arts — always within the symbolic and spiritual framework of the Damanhurian tradition.
The nine underground halls contain 8,500 m² of hand-crafted mosaics, Tiffany glass, fresco, and sculpture — all created by community members.
Music is a core practice at Damanhur — from plant concerts to ceremonial composition to the acoustic design of the underground halls.
Damanhur's musical tradition encompasses three distinct streams: the Music of the Plants (bioelectrical plant performances), sacred ceremonial composition (used in Oracle ceremonies and seasonal festivals), and the acoustic design of the Temples themselves — whose underground chambers were specifically designed to produce resonant harmonic effects.
The community has produced over 40 albums of sacred music, plant concert recordings, and ceremonial compositions. Available on Damanhur's SoundCloud and streaming platforms.
The School of Sacred Art (based at Damanhur Crea nucleus) offers training in mosaic, painting, sculpture, and digital sacred art. Students work directly in the ongoing artistic programme of the Temples and community spaces.
Damanhur's artisans accept commissions for sacred art installations — Selfic panels, mosaic murals, and ceremonial objects. Contact welcome@dhwelcome.org for commission enquiries.
Oberto Airaudi (Falco Tarassaco) was a prolific visual artist whose work appears throughout the Temples — including the central mosaic programmes of the Hall of Metals and the Androgyne Hall. A selection is available for viewing during guided temple visits.
The Temples of Humankind are the world's most filmed underground sacred site — BBC, Atlas Obscura, Geographics, and dozens of independent documentaries.
The only way to truly experience the Temples is to visit — photography cannot convey the scale, the smell of stone, or the quality of silence underground.
