Point number three on the Castle of Light trail

The Gate of Mysterious Machines

Taking its inspiration from the inner workings of the Portcullis Gate, the projection here conjures the world of magical machines and portals through the ages. From medieval and steam punk gateways to the perimeters of deep space.

Can you make it through the portcullis of light?
