Part of NASA's artwork is not too serious, like a painting of a meeting between the space shuttle Enterprise to USS Enterprise, the spaceship from the Star Trek television series, the work of Clayton Pond.
Pop artist Andy Warhol explores the unique work that shows cosmonaut astronaut Neil Armstrong in the orange dress was walking on the moon lit the blue colored.
Some other artwork invites deep emotion, such as paintings on the space shuttle Columbia and seven crew. Spacecraft was destroyed when it re-enters Earth's atmosphere, killing all its crew.

"I was surprised to see these paintings. I think here only exhibited the photographs. "
Mike Stanfill of Adamsville, Tennessee, said the exhibition was amazing.
"I think this exhibition is only on the plane-old space shuttle," he said.
He believes some of the artwork is very unique, like the works of Andy Warhol.
Becky Goins who came from Virginia Beach artwork in the museum believes it can encourage people to work.
He said, "Boys are usually happy to draw spacecraft and astronauts who walked on the moon. This is the initial stage, because later on they could create works of art that can be exhibited in this museum. "
