Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky is a site specific outdoor artwork by Chris Drury.[1] It was commissioned by North Carolina Museum of Art in 2003 made possible by the Robert F. Phifer Bequest[2] and located in the 146 acre museum park adjacent to the museum[3] known as the Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park at state capital Raleigh.[4] The artwork is situated in woodland with other large sculptures and is accessed along a woodland path.[5]

The chamber itself is a round building built of stone, wood, and turf approximately 12 feet in diameter (3.66 metres) with a single door to admit the viewer. It is light-tight when its door is closed, except for one small, round opening in its roof which allows the building to act as a camera obscura.[6][7] Images of the sun, clouds, and trees are projected onto the smooth white walls of the interior of the chamber. Classed as a public artwork, there is no admission charge to the park.[8]
