Temporary Exhibition: Our Journey in Space
Heureka, the Finnish Science Centre, Vantaa
- 10.2.2024–1.1.2026
Would you make it as a space professional?
Welcome to the space station of the future! The Our Journey in Space exhibition is an interactive science exhibition for the whole family. The exhibition provides an overview of current space activities and the plans that will most likely be realised in the following three decades.
The exhibition is set in a time where humans have returned to the Moon and use its resources and conduct research on its surface. A trip to Mars is being planned and the related challenges are being studied.
When the visitor enters the exhibition, they enter a space station of the future that orbits Earth. Behind the space station windows is the shining dome of Earth. On the space station, visitors contribute to the tasks of space professionals that aim at protecting Earth and learning more about the universe.
The individual exhibits are space missions focusing on themes such as removing space debris, space weather and making rocket fuel out of lunar ice. Visitors also get to practice experience driving a lunar rover with a delay, and think about ethical questions.
The key message of the exhibition is: Earth is our best spaceship – let’s take good care of it! Space activities are necessary for protecting Earth and the life on it.
