Lunar Attraction

On view October 15, 2016 to September 4, 2017

As Earth's closest celestial body and only natural satellite, the moon has engaged our curiosity and imagination over millennia and across cultures. Contemporary artists use the moon as both a source of inspiration and investigation. Lunar Attraction features artworks and interactives that explore our longstanding fascination and connection with the moon, ranging from myths about the connection between werewolves and the full moon to the gravitational pull that controls Earth's tides to the 21st-century international race to build a base on the moon.

Lunar Attraction features works by Michael Benson, Adam David Brown, Craig Dorety, Fred Espenak, Foster + Partners, Sharon Harper, Beth Hoeckel, Mike Libby, Scott Listfield, Vera Lutter, Greg Mort, Takashi Murakami, Young Sook Park, Adrien Segal, Reel Water Productions, Sputniko!, Peter C. Stone, Brian Thomas, Philip Weber and Joseph Wheelwright.

If there are space geeks in the area, then they should go. There is even a chunk of the Great Scott rock from Apollo 15 there on display. They have a colorized version of the George Meles' "A Trip to the Moon" playing there. While it is not a huge exhibition, it is well thought out and has good lunar art. If the space geeks have kids there is plenty of kids things to do.
