The installation showcases a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition from award-winning composer Dan Jones.

Visitors can enjoy a unique and ever-evolving viewer experience, with interpretations of the artwork shifting, depending on where it is presented.

The end of the installation will be celebrated with a family science and tech event, Sci Tech Extravaganza, returning for its second year on September 20.

This event is designed to inspire young minds, spark curiosity and encourage engagement with science, technology, engineering and maths related learning. 

Dr Kath Mackay, chief scientific officer for Bruntwood SciTech said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming the extraordinary Museum of the Moon to Alderley Park.

“The installation has captured the attention and imaginations of visitors across the globe, so to now have it displayed in our beautiful parkland is incredible.

“And what better way to celebrate its time with us than with the return of SciTech Extravaganza.

“It’s a unique opportunity to showcase the world of science and technology at its very best, and nurture curiosity and innovation in STEM related fields.

“We look forward to welcoming families back for another unforgettable day, and to help inspire a new generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers.”
