Apollo Remastered at the Williamson Art Gallery at Williamson Art Gallery, Birkenhead 28 April — 3 September 2023 Entrance is free — Visit now

The Williamson Art Gallery looks back in time to the Apollo space missions with the new show Apollo Remastered.

The display features spectacular, large-scale image from Andy Saunders – best-selling author, science writer, and one of the world’s foremost experts of NASA digital restoration.

The original photographic film is securely kept in a frozen vault at Johnson Space Center in Houston. While many of us already know these images which circulate widely online, they have only ever been produced in lower-quality copies. Apollo Remastered gives audiences a chance to come face to face with these history-defining images in the highest quality, after a painstaking process of enhancement.

The exhibition is the biggest of its kind staged anywhere in the world to date.
