Museum of the Moon

About

The moon is back at Exeter Cathedral!

In February, the stunning Museum of the Moon installation by world-famous artist Luke Jerram, returns to the magnificent nave of Exeter Cathedral.

The seven-metre sculpture, which made its Exeter debut in 2022, features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents five kilometres of the moon's surface.

Museum of the Moon has been presented in different ways both indoors and outdoors, at iconic venues around the world, altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork in each location. As it travels from place to place, it will gather new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.

The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround-sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer, Dan Jones.

Luke Jerram's multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects. Living in the UK but working internationally since 1997, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe. Jerram has a set of different narratives that make up his practice which are developing in parallel with one another. He is known worldwide for his large-scale public artworks.
