"At Home in Space" Opens, Completing the Air and Space Museum's Space Galleries

The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum has reopened all of its space galleries to the public, with the new "At Home in Space" exhibition now open. The opening restores the full space collection to view after a renovation that kept parts of it closed for an extended period.

The museum has been overhauling its National Mall building in stages, reopening sections as work was completed. Bringing the space galleries back is the final piece of that process for the collection's space displays, so visitors planning a trip to Washington can now see the whole space story under one roof.

The museum's space collection is one of its most visited areas, and the reopening gives the institution a clear milestone as its renovation wraps up.
