Life is bringing the Moon to the Toon! Museum of the Moon will shine from 2 February until 6th May 2019 at Life Science Centre.
Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram, which has been seen by millions of people throughout the world. It has been exhibited at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, at five cities in India and in Aarhus in Denmark for the European Capital of Culture.
The seven-metre-wide sphere, which will be suspended in the air, allows visitors to explore the Moon’s surface in incredible detail. The artwork fuses imagery captured by the NASA spacecraft Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter with a surround sound composition, created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer Dan Jones.
Life is also offering visitors the opportunity to book a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience by Museum of the Moon on the night of the Supermoon on 21 March. At the Supermoon Supper*, swing singer Paul Skerritt will add to the romantic atmosphere with Moon-inspired music for an evening to remember.

*Not included with Life Science Centre admission.
