Johnson Space Center Exhibits

The Johnson Exhibits Program

NASA’s Johnson Space Center operates an active loan program whereby exhibits, displays, spacecraft models, spacesuits and various space artifacts are made available for use on a first-come, first-served basis for short and long-term loans. 

Johnson Space Center primarily serves the NASA Region Four states of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas. Other states and countries may be served when other NASA centers are unable to satisfy requester needs.

As a free service of NASA and the United States government, items cannot be loaned to organizations charging for entry into an exhibition primarily to view these exhibits. NASA’s exhibits are loaned for educational displays that are open to the public. NASA’s exhibits cannot be loaned to individuals.
