Jade Dellinger talks about the Moon Museum from the comfortable confines of Ranch & Sushi in Houston, Texas. The Moon Museum, conceived and organized by Forrest Myers, is a collection of 6 drawings that were miniaturized and placed on a thin ceramic wafer. It was made in 1969 through collaboration between Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) and assisted by the engineers at Grumman Aerospace. The drawings are by Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Forrest Myers, David Novros, John Chamberlain, and Claes Oldenburg. The small "museum" of drawings was supposedly placed on a leg of the lunar landing module that remains on the moon after the departure of Apollo 12 in November, 1969.
