[[caption-width-right:324:Typical night at the Great Hall.]]
This trope is where a sufficiently large interior of a building has an artificial "outdoors" area to it; commonly (but by no means always) comes with plants, animals, as well as imagery of clouds and sun.
This can be accomplished by varying means; using {{hologram}}s is the most common choice (either technological or magical), although something as mundane as decorating the ceiling and walls with outdoor imagery also counts here.
Sometimes may involve CityInABottle or DomedHometown, in which case this illusion may or may not be a privilege for a certain class of people. The common plot involving such a setting can be either the governor of said place [[CrapsaccharineWorld deceiving its denizens with faked scenery while hiding the real one]] (which is usually worse) to the common public, or when said denizens willingly put a more beautiful imagery over the worse real atmosphere (this one can happen in regular buildings as well). It may even be part of a LotusEaterMachine or PocketDimension.
Sometimes this will be a part of VirtualTrainingSimulation; creating an artificial scenery for a training stage is a common feature.
Compare WeatherControlMachine or WeatherManipulation, where the weather is real but is artificially made.

* The Danger Room in ''XMen'' serves this purpose to the titular team. The room can project holograms of many kinds of places, and later stories makes it more advanced by it literally morphing its structure to closely fit the actual scenery.
[[AC:{{Film}} -- Animated]]
* This is part of the CrapsaccharineWorld in ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax''. Thneedville run by O'Hare looks lush and clean... but then you see that the "trees" are all fakes, the "grass-filled ground" conceals actual soil beneath it, O'Hare selling air to the citizens, and most of all, the bright blue sky is just a painting on a giant wall. Which Ted, the hero of the story, later breaks, to reveal to the other citizens the real world out there: a desolate ground with gray cloudy sky with no signs of life in sight.
* The ''Axiom'' on ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', which has a large open area on the Lido Deck that simulates day and night cycles, with the sun and the moon bearing [=BnL=] logos.
* The windows of the original Benbow Inn from Disney's ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'' can display colorful flowers and chirping birds to mask the cold, colorless exterior. Sarah Hawkins is shown adjusting a control knob to achieve this effect.
[[AC:{{Film}} -- Live-Action]]
* The titular ''Film/{{Elysium}}'' space station contains an idyllic living environment, with open air, trees, lakes and sunshine, for the elite of the world's population.
* The enormous soundstage that houses ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' is naturally designed to resemble an outside area, since its titular subject isn't meant to know he's inside an enormous soundstage. The exact details are never given, but the sun and stars are powerful stage lights, as shown when Sirius 6 falls down at one point.
* In the second ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' film ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', we see Ripley looking out at a forest of twittering birds, when the CorruptCorporateExecutive comes in, turning the scenery back into a hospital wall.
* The colony in ''Film/TheIsland'' has one projecting a scene of a mountain to the inhabitants, masking its [[PeopleFarm true purpose]]. [[spoiler:Lincoln Echo Six disables it at the end to reveal the truth to them.]]
* ''Film/BackToTheFuture Part 2''. In 2015, the [=McFly=] home has a window with a view of a pleasant sunny meadow. It turns out that the view is artificial, and is projected onto a venetian blind which is pulled down over the real glass window in order to hide the view of the urban sprawl.
* Vicker's suite aboard the ''{{Film/Prometheus}}'' has holographic displays showing scenes like snowy forests or grassy fields in a CallForward to the ''{{Film/Aliens}}'' film.
* ''Film/ResidentEvil''. In the ElaborateUndergroundBase The Hive, one room has a window which displays the sights and sounds of a big city.
-->'''Matt''': Makes it easier to work underground, thinking there's a view.
* The space crew in ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' finds relaxation and comfort on their long way towards the sun by using personalized 3D holodeck programs which place them in a forest or other familiar environments.
* Creator/GeorgeLucas wrote and directed ''Film/THX1138'' in 1971 about a regimented dystopia. Renegades and criminals are sent to a bivouac, with supplies coming from below the floor. Almost nobody tried to leave the site, because a neurosuppressant in their food supply limited their field of vision: everything beyond an arbitrary distance appeared as white nothingness. The title character is able to escape this prison simply by walking far enough into this "nothingness."
[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* In ''Prelude to Literature/{{Foundation}}'' Hari Seldon goes to an indoor park on Trantor. Most native Trantorans don't go to the parks - being that close to nature freaks them out - but it's an amenity for off-worlders, who didn't grown up in a domed planet-sized city.
* ''Kur of Literature/{{Gor}}'' takes place almost entirely on a Kur "steel world" where they have wildernesses on the spaceships to simulate the world they left behind and the one they hope one day to live on. They also have artificial weather (sun, rain, thunderstorms, snow, etc.).
* Creator/RayBradbury's short story "The Veldt". In a house of the future, the children's bedroom has virtual reality capability. It can project on its walls, ceiling and floor a simulation of an outdoor setting. The setting the children like most is an African veldt.
* The Gaming Domes of ''Literature/DreamPark'' are massive, fully enclosed stage sets where any conceivable type of terrain can be simulated for the Park's signature adventure scenarios.
* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'' and its film adaptations, in almost every banquet scene at the Hogwarts' Great Hall, there's a special effect on the ceiling; sometimes it's falling snow, sometimes it's falling autumn leaves, and so on. It is enchanted to always correspond with the weather outside.
* The (underground) Ministry of Magic's building has enchanted windows that look out on nice scenery. Arthur Weasley says they had two weeks of hurricanes when the maintenance people were trying to get a raise.
* ''Literature/TheHungerGames''' Arena. The Capitol may manipulate the landscape into whatever they wish for each Game, be it a desert, frozen wasteland, rainforest, et cetera, et cetera.
* ''Literature/TheLastWish''. The wizard Stregobor, who specializes in illusions has conjured a sunny field inside of his stone tower.
[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* ''Series/BabylonFive'' has large areas for such purposes. Part of it is orchards for growing food, but other parts are parks, including one with a hedge maze, a zen garden, baseball diamond, and Fresh Air, the finest restaurant on the station.
* ''Cloud 9'' on ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined'', which has a large park as its main appeal, which resulted in it being the setting of many receptions and parties...[[spoiler:until it got nuked]].
* In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' an underground bunker is shown to have an artificial window that shows an outside scene which changes periodically, to give the impression of not being buried deep underground.
* ''Series/GetSmart''. The Chief's underground office has an obviously fake window showing the Washington DC skyline which actually hides a wall safe.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Flesh and Stone" the Doctor and his group are on a spaceship with a large forest-like arboretum, which is mostly used to create breathable air for the humans on board but can also be used like a park.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. The asteroid ship ''Yonada'' has a hollow interior made to look like a sky. One of the inhabitants actually climbs a mountain high enough to feel the roof, giving the episode its name, "For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky."
* The holodecks in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' are basically used for this purpose. The pilot episode shows Cmdr. Riker entering a holodeck of a forest, crossing a stream, climbing a tree...
* The occasional episode of ''Monster House'' (no, not [[Film/MonsterHouse the movie]]) would do this. The show has a group of builders give a makeover to someone's house and some episodes have them recreating an outdoor scene.
* A ''Series/DoctorWho'' story has the Doctor and Martha arrive at an installation that they think is underwater, as they can see water and sealife outside the walls of the installation. They later discover that this is just a projection and that what can be seen outside the walls can be changed, which the Doctor demonstrates.
[[AC:NewspaperComics]]
* ''ComicStrip/{{Foxtrot}}''. During the Caribbeany resort arc (Roger takes the family to a tropical resort a thousand miles from the ocean), we see Roger and Andy looking at the sunset together... before it's replaced with a "Please swipe credit card to continue".
[[AC:TabletopGames]]

** Module D3 ''Vault of the Drow''. Area R247 appears to be an outdoors setting at night, including a starry sky with a moon. It has small trees, shrubs, bushes and beautiful flowers, with small birds being heard in the foliage. Most of this is a permanent illusion: the birds are actually 100 bats and rats.
** Module T1-4 ''The Temple of Elemental Evil''. The interior of one room appears to be outdoors, with a blue sky and hot sun overhead. There appear to be foxes, jackals and giant rats in the area. All of this (except the jackals) is created by a Permanent Illusion spell.

* The Presidium of the Citadel Station in ''Franchise/MassEffect''. It's set up like a large park, with trees and lakes running throughout, in contrast to the wards which are strictly technological.
* ''VideoGame/BioShock'''s Arcadia even attempts to paint a sky on its ceiling in one part.
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManZx Advent'', Albert's lair in the sky, Ouroboros, somehow has a blue sky and a flower field inside his throne room. After the first-phase boss fight against him, he transforms with Model W and the atmosphere shatters, revealing a windy sunset sky (the actual atmosphere).
* In ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'', in the sub-game Great Cave Offensive, the titular underground cave is big enough to have a lake, a forest, a giant tower and a garden. But the actual trope comes out in the ''blue cloudy sky'' that appears in said garden area.
* All of the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' installations have this to some extent, but the Ark, Installation 00, takes the cake, being a constructed world with an actual artificial atmosphere complete with light from an artificial star!
* In ''VideoGame/ApertureTagThePaintGunTestingInitiative'', an officially approved fan-made mod for ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', there are several test chambers set in what are obviously normal rooms painted to look like various outdoor locations.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade''. The Hand on Nod is shown to have an area deep in its basement made to look like a wooded area for combat training.
* The ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' Foundry mission "[[Recap/StarTrekOnlineFoundryATasteOfCollateralDamage A Taste of Collateral Damage]]" features a large asteroid with habitation domes built into it. The domes have a planetary blue-sky-and-clouds holographically projected onto the ceiling, because, as the author put it:
--> '''[=BorrowedTune:=]''' If you were forced to live in an orbiting geodesic dome, would you prefer to look at a grid and black space or a beautiful blue sky?
* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' has hologram generators that help mask the fact that all of the rooms are in a space station. Finding and deactivating them is needed to reach the exit of the room.
* In ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon 2'', the hospital where [[PlayerCharacter Becket]] wakes up after being given his SecondHourSuperPower turns out to have this; it's an underground complex with a holographic skyline outside the "windows".
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' has a large room decorated like a small Chinese town.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* At the conclusion of the ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'' episode "The Menace of Mastermind", the Loonatics headquarters was left without electric power. However, the Loonatics were able to enjoy a simulated tropical vacation in their holographic training room, powered by Rev Runner on an exercise bike that runs a portable generator. The simulation dissolves when Rev stops for a rest break, and restores when Rev resumes pedaling.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive Shere Khan from Disney Television's ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' maintains an elaborate arboretum on both sides of his office, very lush and verdant. It's large enough that when Rebecca comes to confront him about rising fuel prices, she first asks for some water. "It's a long walk across your office." Khan seems comfortable amid his greenery.
[[AC:RealLife]]
* Caesars Palace in Las Vegas has a real life version, also the Mexican pavilion in Epcot.
* Planetaria are RealLife examples of this trope, where night skies are projected onto domed ceilings.
* Many zoos are moving in this direction, particularly with animals that require specialized environments.
** A polar exhibit will be a climate controlled room, made to look like ice floes, and the lighting determined by the time of year, darkened during winter months (which may be summer for northern zoos with an Antarctic display) and light during the summer.
** A rainforest exhibit will feature lots of trees from around there and will be kept warm and steamy, with possible rain showers as well.
[[caption-width-right:324:Typical night at the Great Hall.]]
This trope is where a sufficiently large interior of a building has an artificial "outdoors" area to it; commonly (but by no means always) comes with plants, animals, as well as imagery of clouds and sun.
This can be accomplished by varying means; using {{hologram}}s is the most common choice (either technological or magical), although something as mundane as decorating the ceiling and walls with outdoor imagery also counts here.
Sometimes may involve CityInABottle or DomedHometown, in which case this illusion may or may not be a privilege for a certain class of people. The common plot involving such a setting can be either the governor of said place [[CrapsaccharineWorld deceiving its denizens with faked scenery while hiding the real one]] (which is usually worse) to the common public, or when said denizens willingly put a more beautiful imagery over the worse real atmosphere (this one can happen in regular buildings as well). It may even be part of a LotusEaterMachine or PocketDimension.
Sometimes this will be a part of VirtualTrainingSimulation; creating an artificial scenery for a training stage is a common feature.
Compare WeatherControlMachine or WeatherManipulation, where the weather is real but is artificially made.

!!Examples:
[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* In ''Franchise/OnePiece'', Crocus the doctor decorates the giant whale Laboon's inside with paintings of the sky.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. Inside his fortress of Las Noches in Hueco Mundo, Lord Aizen has a gigantic area that appears to be an outdoor desert, including sandy ground and a blue sky with a sun and clouds passing overhead.
* Space colonies in the various ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series are portrayed this way, with large park areas and huge, impractical glass domes that show the stars but are also able to depict an Earth-like sky in a programmed day/night cycle.
* ''[[Anime/SakasamaNoPatema Sakasama no Patema]]'': About 2/3 into the film, Patema and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Age/Eiji]] get swallowed up into the sky, seemingly to their deaths. It's only then that they realize that the "sky" is really [[spoiler: the underside of an abandoned facility]]. It illuminates during the night, while they're stranded there, revealing that the "stars" had only been lights.
[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* The Danger Room in ''XMen'' serves this purpose to the titular team. The room can project holograms of many kinds of places, and later stories makes it more advanced by it literally morphing its structure to closely fit the actual scenery.
[[AC:{{Film}} -- Animated]]
* This is part of the CrapsaccharineWorld in ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax''. Thneedville run by O'Hare looks lush and clean... but then you see that the "trees" are all fakes, the "grass-filled ground" conceals actual soil beneath it, O'Hare selling air to the citizens, and most of all, the bright blue sky is just a painting on a giant wall. Which Ted, the hero of the story, later breaks, to reveal to the other citizens the real world out there: a desolate ground with gray cloudy sky with no signs of life in sight.
* The ''Axiom'' on ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', which has a large open area on the Lido Deck that simulates day and night cycles, with the sun and the moon bearing [=BnL=] logos.
* The windows of the original Benbow Inn from Disney's ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'' can display colorful flowers and chirping birds to mask the cold, colorless exterior. Sarah Hawkins is shown adjusting a control knob to achieve this effect.
[[AC:{{Film}} -- Live-Action]]
* The titular ''Film/{{Elysium}}'' space station contains an idyllic living environment, with open air, trees, lakes and sunshine, for the elite of the world's population.
* The enormous soundstage that houses ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' is naturally designed to resemble an outside area, since its titular subject isn't meant to know he's inside an enormous soundstage. The exact details are never given, but the sun and stars are powerful stage lights, as shown when Sirius 6 falls down at one point.
* In the second ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' film ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', we see Ripley looking out at a forest of twittering birds, when the CorruptCorporateExecutive comes in, turning the scenery back into a hospital wall.
* The colony in ''Film/TheIsland'' has one projecting a scene of a mountain to the inhabitants, masking its [[PeopleFarm true purpose]]. [[spoiler:Lincoln Echo Six disables it at the end to reveal the truth to them.]]
* ''Film/BackToTheFuture Part 2''. In 2015, the [=McFly=] home has a window with a view of a pleasant sunny meadow. It turns out that the view is artificial, and is projected onto a venetian blind which is pulled down over the real glass window in order to hide the view of the urban sprawl.
* Vicker's suite aboard the ''{{Film/Prometheus}}'' has holographic displays showing scenes like snowy forests or grassy fields in a CallForward to the ''{{Film/Aliens}}'' film.
* ''Film/ResidentEvil''. In the ElaborateUndergroundBase The Hive, one room has a window which displays the sights and sounds of a big city.
-->'''Matt''': Makes it easier to work underground, thinking there's a view.
* The space crew in ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' finds relaxation and comfort on their long way towards the sun by using personalized 3D holodeck programs which place them in a forest or other familiar environments.
* Creator/GeorgeLucas wrote and directed ''Film/THX1138'' in 1971 about a regimented dystopia. Renegades and criminals are sent to a bivouac, with supplies coming from below the floor. Almost nobody tried to leave the site, because a neurosuppressant in their food supply limited their field of vision: everything beyond an arbitrary distance appeared as white nothingness. The title character is able to escape this prison simply by walking far enough into this "nothingness."
[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* In ''Prelude to Literature/{{Foundation}}'' Hari Seldon goes to an indoor park on Trantor. Most native Trantorans don't go to the parks - being that close to nature freaks them out - but it's an amenity for off-worlders, who didn't grown up in a domed planet-sized city.
* ''Kur of Literature/{{Gor}}'' takes place almost entirely on a Kur "steel world" where they have wildernesses on the spaceships to simulate the world they left behind and the one they hope one day to live on. They also have artificial weather (sun, rain, thunderstorms, snow, etc.).
* Creator/RayBradbury's short story "The Veldt". In a house of the future, the children's bedroom has virtual reality capability. It can project on its walls, ceiling and floor a simulation of an outdoor setting. The setting the children like most is an African veldt.
* The Gaming Domes of ''Literature/DreamPark'' are massive, fully enclosed stage sets where any conceivable type of terrain can be simulated for the Park's signature adventure scenarios.
* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'' and its film adaptations, in almost every banquet scene at the Hogwarts' Great Hall, there's a special effect on the ceiling; sometimes it's falling snow, sometimes it's falling autumn leaves, and so on. It is enchanted to always correspond with the weather outside.
* The (underground) Ministry of Magic's building has enchanted windows that look out on nice scenery. Arthur Weasley says they had two weeks of hurricanes when the maintenance people were trying to get a raise.
* ''Literature/TheHungerGames''' Arena. The Capitol may manipulate the landscape into whatever they wish for each Game, be it a desert, frozen wasteland, rainforest, et cetera, et cetera.
* ''Literature/TheLastWish''. The wizard Stregobor, who specializes in illusions has conjured a sunny field inside of his stone tower.
[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* ''Series/BabylonFive'' has large areas for such purposes. Part of it is orchards for growing food, but other parts are parks, including one with a hedge maze, a zen garden, baseball diamond, and Fresh Air, the finest restaurant on the station.
* ''Cloud 9'' on ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined'', which has a large park as its main appeal, which resulted in it being the setting of many receptions and parties...[[spoiler:until it got nuked]].
* In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' an underground bunker is shown to have an artificial window that shows an outside scene which changes periodically, to give the impression of not being buried deep underground.
* ''Series/GetSmart''. The Chief's underground office has an obviously fake window showing the Washington DC skyline which actually hides a wall safe.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Flesh and Stone" the Doctor and his group are on a spaceship with a large forest-like arboretum, which is mostly used to create breathable air for the humans on board but can also be used like a park.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. The asteroid ship ''Yonada'' has a hollow interior made to look like a sky. One of the inhabitants actually climbs a mountain high enough to feel the roof, giving the episode its name, "For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky."
* The holodecks in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' are basically used for this purpose. The pilot episode shows Cmdr. Riker entering a holodeck of a forest, crossing a stream, climbing a tree...
* The occasional episode of ''Monster House'' (no, not [[Film/MonsterHouse the movie]]) would do this. The show has a group of builders give a makeover to someone's house and some episodes have them recreating an outdoor scene.
* A ''Series/DoctorWho'' story has the Doctor and Martha arrive at an installation that they think is underwater, as they can see water and sealife outside the walls of the installation. They later discover that this is just a projection and that what can be seen outside the walls can be changed, which the Doctor demonstrates.
[[AC:NewspaperComics]]
* ''ComicStrip/{{Foxtrot}}''. During the Caribbeany resort arc (Roger takes the family to a tropical resort a thousand miles from the ocean), we see Roger and Andy looking at the sunset together... before it's replaced with a "Please swipe credit card to continue".
[[AC:TabletopGames]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
** Module D3 ''Vault of the Drow''. Area R247 appears to be an outdoors setting at night, including a starry sky with a moon. It has small trees, shrubs, bushes and beautiful flowers, with small birds being heard in the foliage. Most of this is a permanent illusion: the birds are actually 100 bats and rats.
** Module T1-4 ''The Temple of Elemental Evil''. The interior of one room appears to be outdoors, with a blue sky and hot sun overhead. There appear to be foxes, jackals and giant rats in the area. All of this (except the jackals) is created by a Permanent Illusion spell.
