Gaia Installation

Parents and students may be interested in the forthcoming installation, GAIA, which will be in the Abbey from 3 October until 16 November. GAIA is an awe-inspiring Earth sculpture — a masterpiece of scale and imagination. At 1.8 million times smaller than our real planet, each centimetre of this internally illuminated globe represents 18 kilometres of Earth’s surface. Slowly rotating, the sculpture invites quiet reflection and wonder, enhanced by a specially commissioned surround sound composition, immersing you in a rich, atmospheric soundscape that brings the installation to life. This is more than an artwork — it’s a global journey, a sensory experience, and a celebration of our shared home. Please note: An unknown benefactor has generously funded 250 paid entries for QE students and their accompanying adult to see this awe-inspiring exhibition – see attached flyer. Please do take advantaged of this, showing the attached flyer to the attendants, and noting that an accompanying adult must also be in attendance with the student for both to qualify for free entry.
