'Museum Of The Moon' featuring premiere by Norah Constance Walsh
Merrion Square
Experience the Moon up close - Luke Jerram’s glowing lunar sculpture is coming to Dublin's Merrion Square to celebrate 30 years of Science Week from 13th –15th November 2025.
Suspended between the trees, the seven-metre moon sculpture is internally lit and mapped with 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At a scale of approximately 1:500,000, each centimetre of the model represents 5km of the moon’s terrain, offering visitors a breathtakingly close encounter with our celestial neighbour. Jerram’s work is already familiar to Dublin audiences — his large-scale Earth model Gaia is currently on display in Trinity College Dublin’s Old Library. Now, Museum of the Moon continues his tradition of blending science, art, and public engagement in awe-inspiring ways.
Accompanying the installation will be a thought-provoking programme of musical performances, designed to bring audiences together through a dynamic fusion of science and the arts.
