Museum of the Moon

On the occasion of 70th anniversary of the British Council in India and celebration of the UK- India Year of Culture, a stunning art work 'Museum of the Moon' created by internationally renowned artist Luke Jerram, reached at The City Palace Museum, Udaipur. This astonishing Moon was placed at the Center of The Manek Chowk, The City Palace Museum, Udaipur for two days. People of Udaipur and the local and worldwide tourists were so excited.

The Moon was seven meters in diameter at an approximate scale of 1:500,000. Each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represented 5 km of the Moon surface and featured detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. The concept of the 'Museum of the Moon' was to allow people to observe and contemplate cultural similarities and difference around the world, and to consider the latest moon science.
