Lunar Wall Mural to celebrate 5oth anniversary of moon landing.

Lunar Wall Mural to celebrate anniversary of Moon Landing

We had our own moon landing at Scienceworks last printing and installing a large photographic lunar wall mural depicting the southern sky and moon. The wall graphic greets visitors in the entrance foyer of the Planetarium. The installation coincides with the 50th anniversary of the historic moon landing. It will remain in place for the next twelve months.

On 20 July 1969, Apollo 11 landed at Tranquility Base. Hours later, Neil Armstrong made history by becoming the first person to walk on the Moon.

Apollo 11 Photography Exhibition

Scienceworks is currently exhibiting images of the Apollo 11 moon landing until 31st of August. From their website:

‘On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans ever to land on the moon. In that moment, the world stopped to witness a remarkable achievement – the first instance of humanity exploring a world beyond Earth.

Stunning iconic images in Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Photographs celebrate this incredible feat of human ambition and ingenuity.’

PVC and phthalate-free wallpaper

We generally offer two options with respect to wallpaper and murals, both of which are PVC and phthalate-free. An opaque, lightly textured wallpaper and a satin laminated self adhesive vinyl (SAV). Scienceworks (Melbourne Museum) opted for the self adhesive vinyl film. Of the the two, the satin laminated SAV is the easier to clean due to its non textured finish. Given that the wall mural is in a public area, with up to 3000 visitors entering the museum daily, this was a key requirement.

Aesthetically, the textured wallpaper is a no gloss, matte finish which suits a certain type of graphic or repeat pattern, typical of residential wallpapers. The satin laminated SAV provides a low gloss, matte finish, which enhances the photographic nature of the lunar wall mural. From a sustainable signage point of view, the SAV chosen is a non-PVC and phthalate-free film and contains no added chlorine or halogens. It is manufactured using 58% less solvents than standard cast films and is over laminated with its matched matte laminate that is made in part of bio-based material. We aim to provide sustainable options for signage whenever possible.
