About this Event
We Choose to Go to the Moon
From telescopes to tortoises, meteorites to the moon landing, Saffron Walden Museum’s special exhibition “We Choose to Go to the Moon” showcases the fascinating science and culture of the final frontier.
You’ll be able to see a facsimile of the Apollo 11 flight plan—the spaceflight that took astronauts to the Moon in 1969. Get up close to meteorites and hear the fascinating story of some of the animals that have been to space. Explore the stars with a mini planetarium, and a star filled infinity rocket with space soundscape. Get a unique insight into the cultural history of space from religious beliefs and ceremonies to music, design and film.
