The Moon Lands in Basildon: A Cosmic First for South Essex!
Basildon has got a little closer to the heavens as Museum of the Moon, a breathtaking seven-metre-wide art installation by world-renowned artist Luke Jerram, arrives at St Martin’s Church in February 2025.
Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface.
Over its lifetime, the Museum of the Moon has been presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors, so altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork. 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.
This awe-inspiring touring lunar artwork, which has dazzled over 20 million people across 41 countries, has never been seen in South Essex – until now, opening to the public on Wednesday 5th February. It will stay at the church in St. Martin’s Square for three weeks until Saturday 22nd February.
