Abstract

Cosmonauts: Birth of the Space Age was an exhibition on display at the Science Museum (London) in 2016. The exhibition uncovered the dramatic story of how Russia turned the dream of space travel into a reality and became the first nation to explore space. It explored the historical, cultural and spiritual context of Russian space travel, shaped by the turbulent early decades of the twentieth century. It also displayed poignant testimonies and memorabilia belonging to some of the biggest names in spaceflight, revealing the deeply personal stories of the pioneers who kick-started the space age.
