A Cathedral Moon, Rochester

Went over to Rochester Cathedral to see the instillation Museum of The Moon (see below for more details and extra shots for more images) and it looked stunning in this setting. I took the main image through a large flower display on the steps at the end of the knave and did get some funny looks while doing so but I was really pleased with the result so it was worth the effort!
 We were allowed to walk round looking at it with a glass of wine in hand and then had a sit down selection of local cheeses, all of which were very tasty.

"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 will be 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.
The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones. Each venue also programmes their own series lunar inspired events beneath the moon."
