(Dearborn, Mich. — September 15, 2026) — Prepare for liftoff! Artemis Adventure with LEGO® Bricks launches visitors on an all-new mission where creativity, problem-solving, and engineering collide. Opening October 18 in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, the interactive exhibition is inspired by NASA's groundbreaking Artemis Missions and transforms visitors into space engineers, scientists, and astronauts, inviting them to design, build and test solutions using LEGO® bricks. The exhibition will be on display through January 3, with an exclusive member preview on October 17.
At the heart of Artemis Adventure are striking LEGO sculptures, hands-on engineering challenges, and collaborative workshop stations designed to ignite imagination and curiosity. Visitors can design lunar rovers, construct space habitats, and test their skills overcoming real obstacles faced by space explorers — all while discovering and applying STEAM concepts.
"We set out to capture the ingenuity, teamwork, and determination behind the Artemis Missions — and deliver it in a way that's playful, meaningful, and unforgettable," said Jay Brown, Principal & Managing Director of Flying Fish. "This exhibition gives visitors of all ages a chance to think like NASA engineers, problem-solve like scientists, and dream like explorers.”
Highlights of Artemis Adventure with LEGO® Bricks include:
- LEGO Sculptures:
- Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) “Eagle”: Marvel at the iconic spacecraft that made history with the first human lunar landing. Additional large-scale sculptures include the Orion spacecraft, Lunar Gateway, Mars habitats and more.
- International Space Station: Explore the remarkable hub where international collaboration continually pushes the boundaries of scientific knowledge.
- Space Launch System (SLS): Discover NASA's most powerful rocket, designed to reach beyond the Moon to Mars.
- Axiom Spacesuit: Strike your best astronaut pose in a next-generation spacesuit and snap a selfie from the future!
- Hands-On Challenges and Interactive Build Stations:
- 'Rover Race': Construct your lunar rover, then put it to the test — challenge a friend to see whose rover rules the lunar track!
- 'Mars Habitation': Build habitats that astronauts might call home on Mars, shaped by insights from Artemis Missions.
"Space exploration benefits us all because it brings so many unique challenges, proving that when we work together, we can achieve great things," said Jennie King, Manager of Educator Programs and NASA Solar System Ambassador. "LEGO bricks are something many of us explored as kids and often serve as an early introduction to engineering."
Artemis Adventure is a STEAM-focused experience that fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration. It is infused with fun facts, real-world science, and inspiring stories of space exploration to engage visitors of all ages.
