Luke Jerram’s The Museum of the Moon is now open for just a few days in Toronto and it can be found at the Bentway, the public space and outdoor gallery beneath the city's Gardiner Expressway. The focal point of the attraction is an inflatable sculpture that is a perfect, to-scale replica of the moon that was crafted with NASA imagery. The moon is illuminated from the inside to mimic the familiar glow that people are used to seeing in the night sky, as well as to highlight the details of the moon, which can fully be appreciated up close—as people hardly ever get to see its craters, volcanic elements and other unique characteristics.
In the city, people will also be able to find a smaller version of the sculpture within the Aga Khan Museum.
