OK, it's a giant illuminated inflatable Moon with a soundtrack but I think it's fun.
Shame I don't have room for one.
I reckon Yusaku Maezawa would approve.

The Museum of the Moon installation artwork was created in 2016 by Luke Jerram. It was first exhibited at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in June 2016, but high winds caused it to burst within a few minutes. It was quickly repaired and the original balloon and its reproductions have been exhibited many times since, most recently in Florida. This coming December, the Museum of the Moon will be featured at the Global Science Festival in Kerala, India.

Something similar has been done before. In 2010, I visited Sternstunden, an exhibition in the Gasometer in Oberhausen, which included a 25 m diameter moon sculpture.
