To the Moon:
The American Space Program in the 1960s
In honor of President Johnson’s Centennial, the LBJ Library & Museum presents To the Moon: The American Space Program in the 1960s, a major exhibit celebrating man’s venture into space.
The primary focus of the exhibit will cover the period of “Sputnik” (late 1950s) through the first moon landing of Apollo 11 in 1969. To the Moon will feature eye-catching, visually attractive state-of-the-art elements to match the ambitious scope of the subject.
The exhibit runs until the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, July 20, 2009. The exhibit also coincides with the 50th anniversary of NASA.
