Out of this World
Compelling moments in spaceflight history reflected in artists' creations.
This exhibition is now closed.
Out of this World highlights particular moments from the space age that have inspired artists — the beginning of the space age in 1957, sending astronauts to the Moon and back in 1969, seeing the whole Earth from space in 1972, and creating a better picture of our home galaxy in 1992.
