2—11 Sep
Museum of the Moon
Brisbane Festival and West Village present
Explore the mysterious dark side of the Moon.
Since the beginning of humanity, the moon has remained a great source of inspiration, acting as a ‘cultural mirror’, reflecting the ideas and beliefs of people the world over. The moon has been interpreted as a god and as a planet. It has been used as a timekeeper, calendar and a source of light to aid nighttime navigation. Cultures around the world have their own deep historical, cultural, scientific and religious relationships to the moon, yet somehow, despite these differences, the moon connects us all.
The first in a series of three awe-inspiring large-scale installations by Luke Jerram at West Village, Museum of the Moon is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound.
Experience the majesty of the moon, like you've never seen before.
A Picnic with the Moon
Come and enjoy free live performances from 6:30pm on Tue 6 Sep at A Picnic with the Moon.
