The excitement is palpable as the Barnstaple Pannier Market extends a warm invitation to the community, encouraging everyone to seize the opportunity to be part of a series of extraordinary events, highlighted by the enchanting arrival of Luke Jerram's Museum of the Moon on Saturday, 16 December.
Measuring an impressive seven meters in diameter, the Museum of the Moon is a celestial masterpiece showcasing NASA's high-resolution lunar imagery in exquisite detail. At a scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of this internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5 kilometres of the moon's mysterious surface, offering visitors a mesmerising journey to our celestial neighbour.
Developed with an enchanting glow of moonlight, the artwork is accompanied by a captivating surround sound, a creation of BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer, Dan Jones.
The Museum of the Moon, having captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, will be the centrepiece of the Barnstaple Pannier Market, inviting the local community to experience this extraordinary artwork firsthand. If you haven't already, secure your FREE space by reserving your spot now.
