On Sept. 28, the Museum’s Home Beyond Earth exhibit expands its orbit and invites visitors to enter a futuristic life-size space station module—the TESSERAE Space Habitat Pavilion. The 20-feet high dome pavilion is a full-scale mock-up of the TESSERAE self-assembling space habitat designed to sustain and enrich life in orbit. Created in Cambridge, Mass. by Aurelia Institute, the TESSERAE module at the Museum highlights food cultivation, cooking and the importance of shared meals in maintaining people’s well-being in space. This is be the first public exhibition of TESSERAE, which is open in the Museum’s Great Gallery until Jan. 12, 2025.
