With the important Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, many people have already started planning reunion activities such as moon-gazing and barbecues. Here’s a more unique moon-viewing itinerary to consider. The large-scale moon installation art "Museum of the Moon," created by British artist Luke Jerram, descended upon the streets of Hong Kong on September 28, offering visitors an extraordinary moon-gazing experience.

This giant moon installation has a diameter of 7 meters and features a hyper-realistic design that makes it look as if the real moon has appeared right before your eyes. This artwork has toured many countries around the world, including the UK, France, Ireland, and Belgium, and its meaning can change depending on the history and culture of each country. Its appearance in Hong Kong from September 28 to October 31 at the atrium of Lee Tung Avenue marks not only its first time in Asia but also a special showcase during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
