The last Apollo spacecraft to travel to the Moon, Apollo 17 is displayed uncovered in plexiglas in a darkened gallery surrounded by fiber-optic stars. This makes observation and photography difficult. It is complete with opened hatch and EVA handrails, and a spacesuit dressed mannequin is inside. |
