On this weekend in Lincoln! One of the most historic cities in the UK and so so so much more!!
Get ready to see the world at The Collection Museum. Explore our planet like never before with Gaia by Luke Jerram.
Visitors will be able to gaze upon the Earth as if from space, without ever having to leave the atmosphere. The awe-inspiring art installation, called Gaia, is by the same artist who brought the moon to The Collection in 2019, Luke Jerram.
Measuring six metres in diameter, the internally-lit sphere is 2.1 million times smaller than the real Earth. It has been recreated from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface and each centimeter of the sculpture represents 21km of our planet.
A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. In Greek Mythology 'Gaia' is the personification of the Earth.
The installation creates a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
For this exhibition, The Collection is asking visitors to 'Pay-What-You-Decide', to enable as many people as possible to experience this phenomenal art work. Visitors will be able to choose how much to donate to the museum for entry to the exhibition. Donations are vital for keeping The Collection open to the public and delivering fantastic exhibitions for all.
