This Fall, the Museum of Lennox & Addington will host the traveling exhibition Health in Space: Daring to Explore, a special exhibition developed by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, one of three museums under Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation, in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency.

Health in Space demystifies the health challenges that astronauts face while living and working in space – such as variable gravity, radiation, and isolation. Featuring unique artifacts and interactive activities, visitors will better understand Canada’s role in advancing health research. Discoveries in this field will be essential for the success of future deep-space expeditions, and could even help solve medical challenges on Earth.
