Ellen Noël to open ‘Destination Moon’ exhibit

The Ellen Noël Art Museum will be opening up its newest exhibition “Destination Moon: A Celebration of JFK and the Apollo 11 Moon Landing” beginning this week.

The exhibition opened March 16 and will be on view through April 13 when the closing reception will be held.

The closing reception is a free event presented by the Ellen Noël Art Museum and will begin at 5:30 p.m. Activities will include a special viewing of the PBS video “8 days: To the Moon and Back.”

Destination Moon is centered around events earmarked July 20, 1969, a decade of unprecedented change and technological innovation bringing humanity farther than ever before.

Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon could only have been possible with the leadership of John F. Kennedy and the following presidents who saw his vision through.

This exhibition can be viewed during normal operating hours and is free to the community.
