Customer project 10: Globe Museum star ceiling

Britain's leading specialist globe maker, Greaves and Thomas, has recently (Summer '06) opened a new globe museum and workshop in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. One of the features of the restored premises of Bravinger's Arcade is this fibre optic star ceiling in which the constellations are modelled on characters from Lewis Carroll's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. A celestial globe using the same artwork is also available from the company.

Also visible in this photo is an orrery (model of the solar system) that is suspended from the ceiling. Click on the image above for a larger photo showing the orrery illuminated.


Starscape was delighted to be involved in this project as a supplier of optical fibre and technical advice. To learn more about the company's range of attractive globes visit its website.
