3, 2, 1... embark immediately on a fascinating journey to the heart of space 🌌🔭
Explore the mysteries of asteroids and delve into the incredible history of the solar system at MNHN's brand new "Asteroid Mission" exhibition!
____2ND FLOOR FOR THE HEAVENLY INVITATION!
Until 18 August 2024
Our universe is fascinating, isn't it? At least, that's what we often tell ourselves!
From interstellar suspense to the discovery of celestial mysteries, one thing is certain: you'll be able to explore the cosmos like never before 💫 find the answers to your most spacey intrigues, and develop your G culture even further!
We're not telling you anything if we tell you that our planet 🌍 has been under constant threat since it was formed 4.5 billion years ago... Asteroids and comets often collide with the Earth. But there are still a large number of stories that we didn't know about (because their point of impact isn't necessarily the one we had envisaged).
Some of the most memorable stories: the Benld meteorite that crashed through the roof of a garage, then through the roof of a car, ending up in the back seat in 1938 (you can imagine how frightened the locals were!) and the story of the farmer who found the largest meteorite ever found on Earth while ploughing in 1920 😵💫

A DYNAMIC TOUR, FULL OF SURPRISES
The exhibition is also a perfect combination of factual information and a host of interactive games 🎮 Create your own asteroid with its material, size and speed of fall and... see the results on the scale of Luxembourg (or rather the damage!). And don't forget: try to stop the asteroids, give your opinion using the grappling machine or guess their composition using iron. After all that, you can be Proud of yourself ;)
To extend your visit and immerse yourself a little further in the universe, the museum offers a whole host of fun workshops for young and old! Here's our selection...
