UK artist Luke Jerram’s installation The Museum of the Moon is coming to the Old Royal Naval College this winter. As the nights draw in there’s no better time for Jerram’s illuminated installation to be displayed in the magnificent Painted Hall from Monday 12 December 2022 to Sunday 5 February 2023, alongside a lunar-inspired season of events. Jerram returns to the Old Royal Naval College following the success of his Gaia installation in 2021.
The vision of the moon meets the grandeur of Sir Christopher Wren’s iconic buildings on the banks of the river Thames in London. The Old Royal Naval College and its majestic 18th century Painted Hall are the perfect setting for visitors to marvel at the wonder of The Museum of the Moon this winter.
Visitors can experience the seven metre, to-scale Moon, created using NASA imagery, as it hangs in the Baroque Painted Hall. The imagery features minute detail of the lunar surface, taking the viewer right round to the dark side of the moon.
