The Imagine Peace Tower is a striking outdoor art installation located on Viðey Island near Reykjavík, Iceland. Conceived by artist Yoko Ono in memory of her late husband, John Lennon, the tower was inaugurated on October 9, 2007, which would have been Lennon’s 67th birthday. The installation consists of a tall, cylindrical beam of light projected from a white stone base inscribed with the phrase "Imagine Peace" in 24 languages. This powerful symbol of peace and unity is illuminated annually from October 9 (Lennon's birthday) to December 8 (the anniversary of his death), as well as on certain other dates of significance such as New Year's Eve and spring equinox.
