Space Expo

Space Expo is a museum in Noordwijk that displays actual spacecraft, working satellites, and a full-sized model of the International Space Station for hands-on exploration. The exhibitions guide you through how space missions work and what astronauts do in orbit.

The museum originated to showcase European space achievements and houses the actual Soyuz capsule that brought astronaut André Kuipers back from the International Space Station. This artifact marks an important moment in human spaceflight history.

The museum displays how space technology shapes what we know about Earth and connects people across nations through scientific exploration. Visitors experience how satellite data helps us understand our planet today.

The museum is easy to walk through with interactive programs for children aged 5 and up who work through activities in their own logbook. Take your time exploring the exhibits and engaging with the interactive demonstrations throughout the building.

Visitors can touch an authentic meteorite from space, a chance to hold something that traveled through the solar system. The Earth from Space exhibition reveals how satellite images help us monitor and understand our planet.
