    LUNEX Space Renaissance (Marieke Feenstra & Bernard Foing)

    © the artist

The Space Renaissance 4 All tray holds twenty wells, lettered A to T. Some carry an artwork, others a meteorite, lunar soil or an experiment. Art and science in the same object, sealed for the journey and photographed at close range before they left Earth.

The Space Renaissance 4 All gallery is an initiative of Bernard Foing, former Chief Scientist at the European Space Agency and principal project scientist of SMART-1, Europe’s first mission to the Moon. The tray flew to Earth orbit aboard the Nyx capsule, and MoonMars Museum holds four of its twenty wells.
