This exclusive gathering marks the launch of the Museum of the Moon installation, themed “Moon as Sacred Mirror.”
Exquisite Artistry in the Moon’s Glow
The centerpiece of the evening is the Museum of the Moon, a captivating creation by renowned UK artist Luke Jerram. Suspended majestically above the Cathedral’s nave, this awe-inspiring moon sculpture boasts a 20-foot diameter and showcases intricate NASA imagery of the lunar surface at a remarkable 120dpi resolution.

The dress code calls for cocktail attire, with the option to elevate the glamour with black-tie elegance.
