#DerbyKnifeAngel
The spectacular, 27 feet high sculpture is made from around 100,000 bladed weapons collected in knife amnesties during police surrenders across the country.
The Angel was created by the British Ironwork Centre with sculptor Alfie Bradley.
Relatives of those killed by knife crime were invited to engrave the blades with names and messages for their loved ones as part of the sculpture
Museum of the moon
The Museum of the Moon in Derby Cathedral measures 7 metres in diameter.
The moon features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface.
The scale of the moon is approximately 1:500,000, so each centimetre of the internally lit, spherical sculpture represents 5 km of the Moon’s surface!
It is made from a fire-resistant, white fabric with the imagery printed onto its surface.
To keep the moon inflated, it has a small fan embedded into its north pole.
Once inflated, it weighs 40 kg.
