No one should miss the incredible Museum of the Moon.
The transfixing exhibit has toured around the world and is soon coming to the magnificent Ely Cathedral.
I witnessed the awe-inspiring orb when it travelled to the Arc Shopping Centre in my home of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
The exhibit tucked inside a room at the Apex event venue was so popular, I had to wait for a few minutes to enter.
Everyone&apos;s eyes were instantly glued to the massive illuminated orb dangling from the ceiling.
The 3D moon is so mesmerising because it is covered with detailed NASA photographs of the moon. I felt compelled to slowly circle the structure several times because each angle of the moon is so different.
The sculpture feels eerily realistic with its internal lighting and NASA imagery of the lunar surface with an approximate scale of 1:500,000 – each centimetre of the 7-metre spherical sculpture represents 5 kilometres of the moon’s surface.
I was impressed with the exhibit even in Bury&apos;s little shopping centre but now that it is coming to Ely Cathedral it will be even more of an incredible sight to behold.
The experience by UK artist Luke Jerram will be on display in the nave of the Cathedral and set to a surround sound composition by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winner Dan Jones.
As the moon travels from place to place, it will gather new exhibit features that focus on the latest moon science.
The moon&apos;s Ely stop will include a replica of the space suit worn by Neil Armstrong, fragments of meteorites collected from around the world, space food for astronauts, a space toilet and more.
There will also be exhibits from the Cambridge Science Centre and a stunning lunar-inspired art exhibition Moon-shot: Woman on the Moon by ESERO-space Ambassador, Helen Schell.
The exhibit will open on May 18, 2019 and run until June 9, 2019. Normal admission fees for Ely Cathedral apply (children under 16 go free), excluding special events.
The exhibition has been presented across the world, including at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, five cities in India with the British Council and in Aarhus, Denmark for the European Capital of Culture.
