Queretaro is glowing under the light of a massive Moon! British artist Luke Jerram’s ‘Museum of the Moon’ — a breathtaking, 7-meter-wide replica of Earth’s satellite — has landed in Plaza de Armas, captivating locals and tourists alike.

Suspended in the historic heart of Querétaro, this illuminated sphere is based on actual NASA lunar scans, offering an up-close look at the Moon’s topography, including its rarely seen dark side.

The stunning artwork is part of a city-wide cultural initiative promoting art and science in public spaces. Beyond the visual experience, the installation also features astronomy talks, nighttime artistic performances, and guided tours

"It looks real… a magical experience that lights up Querétaro!" – Estefany, a tourist. Locals and visitors alike have flocked to take photos and marvel at the Moon like never before.
