The V&A Museum of Childhood

Space Age Exploration, design and popular culture

24 November 2007 – 6 April 2008

This major exhibition will explore people’s age old fascination with space. It will show how this fascination has influenced popular culture, from literature and comics to film, design and merchandising, including toys.
On display will be real space objects together with classic space-inspired designs and childhood objects. The relationship between reality and fantasy is a fascinating one which will be looked at within the exhibition. The reality of how space exploration has developed and how space fantasy and science fiction worlds have been created in people’s imaginations will be revealed.
