Savor the final days of summer 2023 with a visit to Virginia Museum of History and Culture on Labor Day.
On Monday, September 4, youth ages seventeen and under and students can enjoy free access to the museum galleries, including the museum’s most recent starry exhibition Apollo: When We Went to the Moon, which is on view now through December 31, 2023.
Organized by the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Apollo: When We Went to the Moon is an interactive exhibition that takes visitors on a galactic journey through the history of U.S. space exploration. Visitors can touch a piece of the Moon, be transported to the Apollo 11 launch pad as part of an immersive audiovisual experience; leave their “footprints” behind as they walk across a virtual lunar surface; and climb aboard a full-scale Apollo 17 lunar rover model to experience how astronauts got around on the moon.
Free Admission to VMHC Includes Apollo Exhibit
In addition, the museum has partnered with NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton to offer a special section of the exhibition that explores Virginia’s role in the U.S. space program with artifacts and stories from Langley, as well as highlighting the Virginians who made groundbreaking contributions to its many successes.
To receive free admission on Labor Day, guests can simply check in at the guest services desk when they arrive. Students must present a valid student I.D. to receive this offer. Tickets for other members of the family can be purchased in person at the museum or online at VirginiaHistory.org
