The Museum of the Moon is a visually stunning touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. It was hosted by Peterborough Cathedral from 5-14 October as part of its 900 years celebration as a cathedral.
The moon, measuring seven metres in diameter and featuring 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface, was suspended in the magnificent space of Peterborough Cathedral.
At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface. Over its lifetime, the Museum of the Moon will be presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors, so altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork. As it travels from place to place, it will gather new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.
This brilliant work of art is best experienced in the night time with its lights on and accompanied by music but I did not have the luxury of time anymore. It was ending soon and this day was my only chance. But I still had the best time, staying more than an hour admiring the Moon from all angles and taking a lot of photos - not to mention selfies!
