👍👍 Anyone can and should take these classes. You get an intimate look at artwork while the museum is empty! Even better have a non-judgmental conversation about artwork, the elements, principles and process.

👍👍 Great Museum! The family had a great time learning the history of the ship. Took about three hours to explore the ship itself.

👍👍 Great to see the space shuttle that never went to space. Despite being a prototype it is still amazing to see it and learn more about it. Other museums have ones that actually went to space.
