艺术家luke jerram正带着他直径达7米的月亮环游世界呢，这个转动的艺术装置是从里面被点亮的，它的表面和NASA拍到的月球表面保持一致，每个细节都超清晰。该装置的比例尺是1：500000，表面的每一厘米实际代表了月球表面的五千米。它被命名为“月球博物馆（museum of the moon）”，已经在英国和欧洲的许多地方进行过展览，在接下来的几年里计划还将参加许多活动，所到之处即受到人们的热烈追捧，继续书写着自己的故事和神话。

“月球博物馆”装置包括月球的图像、灯光和作曲家dan jones的音乐，三位一体共同组成了这个作品。该装置还将以多种形式在室内和室外进行展览，不管是在艺术展览会、还是在音乐或灯光节上。

jerram希望该装置能够开启一次有关月球的文化交流，探讨与月亮相关的文化对人类历史的影响。自古以来，月亮就被人类赋予了一系列的诠释和功能，比如被当做计时器、日历和辅助夜间航行等。艺术家、诗人、科学家、作家和音乐家都把月亮当做是灵感的源泉，形成了他们各自独特的科学和宗教联系，作品“月球博物馆”就促使观者去观察和思考世界各地的文化异同。

Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary arts practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live artworks. Living in the UK but working internationally, Jerram creates art projects which excite and inspire people around the world.

Museum of the Moon is a new touring artwork by Luke Jerram that will be presented in a number of arts and cultural festivals over the coming years. The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition.

Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features incredibly detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. As the artwork travels from place to place, it will gather new musical compositions and collect the local moon mythologies and stories, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.

The Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork installation by multidisciplinary UK-based artist Luke Jerram.

It has already been presented at indoor and outdoor locations in six cities in the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. So far this year, another six stops have been added to the tour.

The installation’s main physical feature is a massive internally lit spherical moon sculpture, seven metres in diameter.

The moon balloon’s surface features detailed imagery of the lunar surface captured by Nasa’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera launched in 2009 on board of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a robotic spacecraft that orbits the moon.

At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the balloon represents five kilometres of the moon’s surface.

Jerram’s Museum of the Moon showcases past and ongoing lunar exploration and research. The installation has its own surround-sound music created by award-winning composer Dan Jones.

But the most interesting part of the installation is how it invites every location to add its own touches to the Museum experience, and how those additions then become a permanent part of the travelling installation.

As the installation travels, it will highlight the latest moon science but also gather new musical compositions, personal responses, stories and mythologies from each stop.

This flexibility stems from the moon’s importance, in many different ways, in every culture since the beginning of human history.

The moon is known or believed to be a measurer of time and light in the lives of all living things. It is an inspiration for science, thought, ideas and art, as well as a rich source and object of beliefs, suspicions, myths and rituals.

Each venue and location also presents its own series lunar-inspired events, performances, lectures and art during the Museum of the Moon stop.

For the past 20 years, the 43-year-old Luke Jerram has presented sculptures, installations and live arts projects globally, from all across Europe to Australia, the US, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. Tuija Seipell.
