Museum of the Moon displayed at Kilkenny Cathedral until March 29

The 'Museum of the Moon' exhibit, a stunning seven-metre spherical installation by artist Luke Jerram, has opened at St. Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny. Featuring detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface, the artwork is suspended three metres above the ground, allowing visitors to engage with it from all angles. Accompanied by an immersive soundtrack crafted by BAFTA award-winning composer Dan Jones, the installation aims to inspire reflection on our place in the cosmos. The exhibit will be available for public viewing from March 10 to March 29 and has previously been showcased over 300 times globally, reaching more than 20 million people. In addition to the artwork, the cathedral will host moonlit concerts and performances inspired by the themes of the exhibit. The Very Reverend Stephen Farrell, Dean of Ossory, expressed hope that this installation would uplift and engage the community.
