Learn about space, museums. Share! Discuss!

Hello and welcome to the new re-launched (although currently “beta”) version of Museum of Space Travel!

What You’ll Find Here

First of all, you’ll find information on space museums and exhibits. The entries will be updated by the museums themselves (for museums that chose to do so). Also, you can post your own comments and observations, or read comments written by others.

There is a forum area to discuss museums, exhibits, spaceflight-related subjects and the website itself.

As time goes by, we will be updating this site, revising it—and listening to user requests. Thanks for your interest!
