The Museum will be closed on Christmas Day. Holiday Hours

Step into this room and back in time to 1968.

Step into Griffin MSI’s new pop-up and back in time to a living room from December 1968, like ones where millions watched the Apollo 8 launch on their TV screens. The wallpaper, the patterns and the color schemes of midcentury living rooms are the hallmark of the era—setting the scene at the very moment when astronauts headed to the moon, and Earth saw itself in a brand new light.

Experience this moment yourself as you enjoy midcentury photo ops, create your own telegram using a typewriter, and peruse an exclusive store filled with retro goods.

Moon Room 1968 is part of To the Moon and Back Again, our month-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 8.
