2. Space out at the Getaway

Experience Gaia! This touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram allows you to see our planet on the same scale as astronauts–floating in three dimensions. Measuring 10 feet in diameter, Gaia features detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. A surround-sound composition by award-winning composer Dan Jones will play alongside the sculpture.
