Denver Museum of Nature & Science

On Friday, November 13 Denver Museum of Nature & Science will launch the grand re-opening of the Space Odyssey exhibit. The space-themed exhibit, which made its home in the museum over a decade ago, has been revamped with new interactive activities, innovative sub-exhibits and more for a whole new experience.

The exhibit has been fully renovated with brand new features that were inspired by ideas brainstormed from the community. The theme is summed up by one question: “How do we know what we know about space?” Some of those ideas included taking the time to not only take into consideration the science of space but the idea and magic of it. The aim of the exhibit? To inspire those of all ages and backgrounds and to give a look into the wild and mysterious universe we call home. 

Denver Museum of Nature & Science experiences & partnerships director Jodi Schoemer stated, “Conversations with the community also led us to embrace how science fiction can be a link to loving and understanding space, which led to experiences like the Fantasy Spaceship where you sit in the captain’s chair on the bridge like something out of ‘Star Trek’ to work together to explore, experiment, and make decisions. It’s a fun way to let your imagination run wild through space.”
