Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center

Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center

The Cosmosphere exhibits the 2nd largest collection of US space artifacts in the world (second only to the National Air and Space Museum), and the largest collection of Soviet space artifacts outside of Moscow.

The large atrium of the Hall of Space Museum features a SR-71 Blackbird, a T-38 jet trainer, and a full-size model of the Space Shuttle Endeavour.

The Cosmosphere was also the first institution to become an affiliate of the Smithsonian, and is still the only Smithsonian affiliated museum in the state of Kansas.

In 2008 it was voted one of the eight wonders of Kansas by a national poll.
