WONDER 2024


#WONDER

Museum of the Moon

13 days of art, music and discovery

Wonder returns in 2024 with Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon as the stunning centrepiece and hero artwork installed on the Outdoor Stage - a fusion of large-scale lunar imagery, moonlight and an ethereal soundtrack. 

Explore creative performances and outdoor events inspired by the silver orb in the night sky. From live music, street food, illuminating talks, special dining experiences, First Nations astronomy and more, share in the inspiration of the Moon, the night sky, and the feeling of Wonder.

Presented by HOTA, Home of the Arts

Cocommissioned by a number of creative organisations brought together by Luke Jerram and Norfolk & Norwich Festival. These are: Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, Brighton Festival, Without Walls, Cork Midsummer Festival, We the Curious, Lakes Alive, Provincial Domain Dommelhof, Les Tombées de la Nuit, Rennes and Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. The artwork has also been created in partnership with the UK Space Agency, University of Bristol and The Association for Science and Discovery Centres.
