Guest exhibitions featuring exhibits from the Swiss Space Museum
The Swiss Space Museum not only offers its own fascinating exhibition but is also represented at various partner locations with unique exhibits. These partnerships make it possible for the museum’s impressive collections—including rare space artifacts and fascinating models of historic spacecraft—to be viewed at various locations throughout Switzerland. In this way, the museum actively contributes to making knowledge about space exploration and its achievements accessible to a broad audience and fosters interest in science and technology throughout the country.
Fascinating Exhibits at Space Eye
Space Eye, the observatory for space and the environment, is currently exhibiting a wide variety of items from the Swiss Space Museum. Among the items on display are the survival gear of Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter, science fiction magazines and books from before the space age, tin toys, and several meteorites.
Space Exploration for Families at the Swiss Children’s Museum
In 2019, the Swiss Children’s Museum in Baden planned a special exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. However, the exhibition has proven so popular that it has become a permanent exhibit! Visitors embark on a journey into the vastness of the universe, where they can see artifacts from space exploration, children’s toys, and much more.
Mercury Capsule at the UZH Space Hub
In 2016, the Swiss Space Museum brought a replica of the iconic Mercury space capsule to Switzerland. The replica is currently on display at the University of Zurich’s Space Hub in the Innovation Park in Dübendorf, where it can be viewed during opening hours.
