We Choose to Go to the Moon

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.
