LUNE exhibition at Le Vaisseau
Happening now
LUNE is the temporary exhibition at Le Vaisseau, Strasbourg's science discovery centre, running from 3 October 2026 to 6 January 2028. Visitors step into an astronaut's shoes, manage the resources of a lunar base and then imagine the homes of tomorrow. A family outing built around learning through play, and one that stays on for more than a year.
Three stages to reach the Moon
The exhibition is split into three spaces that tell the story of a full mission. First comes the "Tremplin vers la LUNE", the springboard that prepares you for the journey and its dangers. Next is the "Base sur la LUNE", where you play an astronaut and must manage limited resources to survive on site. The route ends in the "Cités de la LUNE", where everyone imagines what the homes of tomorrow might look like. A clear, playful and educational progression that gives children a real part to play.
A venue made for families
Le Vaisseau designs its exhibitions for children aged 3 to 12 with their parents, and rounds off the visit with age-appropriate workshops, including parent-and-child sessions. LUNE follows the same approach: you handle things, experiment and talk about what it would take to live far from Earth. For families who come back often, the centre offers an annual membership, the Pass Sciences, giving unlimited visits for a year. Current prices and opening hours are listed on the official website.
Extend the journey with a 3D film
To mark its arrival, LUNE comes with a 3D film, "Passeport pour la Lune", shown at Le Vaisseau for ages 7 and up and billed until 20 December 2026. The two work well together: the exhibition gets you doing, the film takes you travelling. With a run lasting until 6 January 2028, there is time to come back in another season, during school holidays for instance, after checking the activity schedule on Le Vaisseau's website.
