To the Moon

Throughout history, the Moon has entranced artists, poets, scientists, writers, and musicians the world over.

To the Moon focuses on our fascination with the moon, seeing it as a gateway to the larger universe and the first and most important step in space exploration.

Our lunar longings serve as a unique mirror that reflects humankind and in capturing this fascination the exhibition traces the moon as a symbol in history, popular culture, and art.

The multiform approach provides a lens for visitors to understand both our poetic yearning for the moon alongside our scientific accomplishments in early and imminent future moon travels.

Combining immersive lunar art with material from popular culture, Aboriginal culture, and planetary science, this exhibition explores the Moon as one of the great symbols of our culture
