The citadel walls of the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem's Old City were illuminated with a spectacular projected light show on Sunday, with animations bringing to life the story of King David.
Animated figures, artwork and text danced across the walls as the show told the story of the biblical hero, famous for slaying Goliath with a single stone from his slingshot.
The 7.5 million shekel ($2.1 million) multimedia production is powered by 18 high-definition laser projectors that light up the citadel with 250,000 lumens and 35,000,000 pixels, 20 speakers and 10 kilometers (6 miles) of cables.
System designer Eli Geffen said the installation was the largest of its kind in the world.
The show also pays tribute to the works of great artists who captured the figure of Jerusalem's king through the centuries, including Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Matisse, Chagall and Michelangelo. The grand finale is an orchestral celebration of Psalm 122's prayer for peace.
The show's original music score was composed by French musician Alexandre Levy and is performed on 40 instruments as it floats through the air via a six-channel surround sound system.
"The show was nothing less than spectacular," said audience member Eliana Rudi. "I thought the technology was amazing. I'm a new resident to Jerusalem and I love the new perspective on King David's life and Jerusalem."
