After creating a sensation across the world (if you haven’t heard about it, where have you been?), the renowned Museum of the Moon will shine brightly in Life Science Centre in Newcastle up until Sunday 31st March.
If you’ve ever wanted to explore the moon’s surface without having to become an astronaut, the fascinating seven-metre-wide spherical artwork, which has been created by UK artist Luke Jerram, is suspended in the air and displays NASA imagery of the lunar surface.
Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork that is in high demand and will be presented worldwide at a number of arts and cultural festivals and venues over the coming years. It has been presented at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, toured five cities of India with the British Council and been presented in Aarhus, Denmark, for the European Capital of Culture.
Visitors to Life Science Centre can also find out more about the Moon in the planetarium show, ‘Moonstruck’, explore the world of sci-fi in the exhibition Alien Invasion and be entertained with the new show Kitchen Science in the Science Theatre.
Fancy taking part in a one-of-a-kind dining experience too? Then don’t miss out on the Supermoon Supper, taking place on Thursday 21st March (the night of the Supermoon). Not only will you have the chance to dine by the Museum of the Moon, but swing singer Paul Skerritt will add to the romantic atmosphere with Moon-inspired music for an evening to remember. Please note: tickets for this dining experience are sold separately.
