A huge replica moon is being suspended from the ceiling of Southwark Cathedral until the end of October.
Named ‘Museum of the Moon’, the seven-metre diameter sculpture is an approximate scale of 1:500,000, with each centimeter representing 5km.
Designed by artist Luke Jerram, the model is internally lit and features high-resolution NASA imagery of the lunar surface.
The installation has been described as “a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition”.
Its accompanying music has been composed by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer Dan Jones.
Museum of the Moon is touring different locations around the world and will change as it gathers new musical compositions on its journey around the globe.
Museum of the Moon is being displayed at Southwark Cathedral from October 10 to 28. Details for tickets and opening times are as follows:
