Facts & Factoids

  • It is London’s third most popular museum/gallery.  First is the British Museum and the second is the Science Museum.

I love this gallery.  No matter how often you visit it, there is always something that would attract your attention.  The paintings are especially superlative by their size and clarity.

Just love it.

If you are coming to the UK, add this gallery to your itinerary.  The location itself is perfect for selfie.  The gallery overlooks the iconic Trafalgar Square.

The Museum of the Moon is located within the ĺNatual History Museum, ground floor near the Dinosaurs.

It is free to enter if you can find it. There is a map of the whole museum costing £1.00 to help you navigate the roomy museum.

When you’ve found the location, the moon sculpture will certainly take your breath away.

It is huge and so near, I reckon a tall NBA player would be able to reach it quite easily.

The lighting is in muted blue highlighting the spectacular moon just above you.

Because of its size and location, it was easy to take your photo/selfie with the Moon in the background.

This work of art by a British artist, Luke Jerram,  was in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

You can visit this Museum of the Moon at the Natural History Museum until 5 January 2020. It would then be on tour.
