The Moon's a balloon

Actually called the Museum of the Moon, this exhibition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing, was held in Derby Cathedral in late September 2019. It was created by Luke Jerram and took 6 months to make, using NASA imagery.

 

Although Derby cathedral has origins dating back to 943, the nave was re-built in 1725 by architect James Gibbs. To separate the nave from the chancel he introduced a wrought iron screen, created by local ironsmith Robert Bakewell.
