The Space Station Museum
Our mission is to educate the public about the exciting past and present of space exploration! THE MUSEUM IS NO LONGER OPEN.
The Space Station Museum WAS a private, volunteer-driven museum dedicated to educating the public, especially children about the history of space exploration in California, the United States, and around the world. "A Traveling Space Exhibit" is run by one stalwart previous volunteer. It is comprised of some of the museum's most popular items and a lot of new items including Legos and action figurines of many different spacesuits.
