A breathtaking seven-metre moon installation which has been thrilling audiences all over the world has made its Scottish debut.

The exhibition, named Museum of the Moon, will be part of celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon is a 1:500,000 scale replica of the real thing, with each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture representing 5km of the moon's surface.

Meanwhile, the artwork's surface has been accurately recreated by using high-definition images from NASA.

The piece was created by UK artist Luke Jerram and will be on show at Mackintosh Queen's Cross until June 24.

Mr Jerram said: "From the beginning of human history, the moon has acted as a 'cultural mirror' to our beliefs, understanding and ways of seeing.

"Over the centuries, the moon has been interpreted as a god and as a planet. It has been used as a timekeeper, calendar and to aid nighttime navigation.

"Different cultures around the world have their own historical, cultural, scientific and religious relationships to the moon."

He added: "Museum of the Moon allows us to observe and contemplate cultural similarities and differences around the world, and consider the latest moon science."
