NASA/ART: 50 Years of Exploration Through Art July 18, 2009

NASA's historic triumphs and pioneering legacy are well known to millions, but the inspiring rocket launches, moon landings and planetary explorations also have had an impact on the imaginations of America's leading artists. As the space agency turns 50 this fall, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service will launch a national tour of NASA/ART 50 Years of Exploration, featuring 72 works from those artists.
