Museum of the Moon in Durham

Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram.
Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface*.

The Museum of the Moon was in Durham Cathedral from Monday 13 September – Thursday 11 November. The seven-metre diameter moon installation, the high vaulted ceiling and colossal carved columns made for a breathtaking scene.
