The Museum of the Moon, a new touring artwork at The Collection in 2019, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

It is a fusion of lunar imagery & moonlight by artist Luke Jerra, surrounded by a sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones.

Measuring six metres in diameter, the moon features 120 dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:600,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 6km of the moon’s surface.

The work was accompanied by a programme of events, including late night multi-arts experiences, afternoon film screenings related to the theme of the moon and space exploration along with new performances and art commissions.

Alongside Museum of the Moon, the Courtyard Gallery at The Collection is hosting ‘Eclipse Chasers – The Great American Eclipse’ a series of photographs by documentary photographer, Keith James. There will was an opportunity to view precious space-related items from the museum collection and the memorabilia collection of Charles Simpson, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and British Interplanetary Society.

For this exhibition, The Collection is trialling a ‘Pay-What-You-Decide’ approach, to enable as many people as possible to experience this phenomenal art work. Visitors will be able to choose how much to donate to the museum for entry to the exhibition. Donations are vital for keeping The Collection open to the public and delivering fantastic exhibitions for all.
