Embark on an immersive journey through three specialized exhibition spaces that explore the potential for human life on the Moon. Through interactive tasks like managing resources in a Moon base and solving science-based challenges, visitors can imagine the future of space exploration and lunar habitation.
The Moon exhibition invites visitors of all ages—recommended for those 7 and up—to engage with the fascinating challenges of space travel and lunar living. The experience is divided into three distinct zones, each designed to foster critical thinking and curiosity. In the 'Springboard to the Moon', visitors prepare for their journey, while the 'Moon base' section challenges them to step into the role of an astronaut and manage vital resources. The final section, 'Dream', encourages visitors to envision what humanity’s future might look like in lunar cities, offering creative perspectives on life beyond Earth. Beyond the primary interactive zones, the exhibition provides hands-on experiments, such as an emergency response simulation for an injured astronaut, a microbial discovery chamber, and an interactive storytelling experience centered on fictional lunar city-states. This educational exploration of astronomy and science was made possible with support from partners including VEGA France, the CNES, and HEAR.
Entry to The Moon is included with a general admission ticket to Le Vaisseau. Visitors are encouraged to purchase their tickets through the official website link provided on the museum's ticketing page; however, the exhibition is part of the standard museum visit experience, so no separate booking is required if entry is already secured.
