Museum of the Moon, a touring artwork by U.K. artist Luke Jerram, will be presented inside the majestic Union County Performing Arts Center\u2019s Main Stage in October 2025. This is the first time Museum of the Moon will be presented in New Jersey and one of a handful of times it has been exhibited on the East Coast in the United States.<\/p>\n

Measuring 23 feet in diameter, the moon features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. Every inch measured on the spherical sculpture represents an actual distance of almost 8 miles of the moon\u2019s surface. The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by award winning composer Dan Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cRahway is proud to welcome Museum of the Moon to our vibrant city,\u201d says Rahway Mayor Raymond A. Giacobbe. \u201cThis awe-inspiring presentation not only brings world-class art to our doorstep but also invites our community to gather under the glow of imagination and wonder. We\u2019re not just showcasing the Moon\u2014we\u2019re celebrating Rahway\u2019s continued rise as a cultural destination where creativity, connection, and community thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the kind of big, bold, beautiful event that makes Rahway special,\u201d says Rahway SID President Jorge Casalins.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuseum of the Moon will light up our downtown in more ways than one\u2014and we can\u2019t wait to see folks out exploring the businesses, grabbing dinner, and soaking up the lunar magic together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
