This autumn, ArtHouse Jersey presents Luke Jerram's internationally acclaimed touring artwork, Museum of the Moon. Measuring six metres in diameter and featuring highly detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface, this illuminated sculpture combines light with a specially composed sound design by Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson, inviting audiences to encounter our closest celestial neighbour in an entirely new way.
Presented as part of the Butterfield Public Art Series, the artwork will be accompanied by a vibrant programme of events, from from cosmic conversations to family adventures, guided walks and immersive sound experiences, and a specially curated lunar feast, offering many different ways to gather beneath the moon. Moon is hosted at St. Helier Methodist Centre by kind arrangement with the Methodist Church in Jersey.
Following the success of Floating Earth, which attracted more than 31,000 visitors in Jersey, Moon continues ArtHouse Jersey's commitment to bringing extraordinary public artworks to unexpected places and creating moments of shared wonder.
Full details of the programme beneath the Moon are below.
