Artifact Leasing

If you are a museum planning a traveling or in-house exhibit, or a company in need of authentic artifacts and support material for corporate events, the Cosmosphere can help.

Once approved, the Cosmosphere can lease space artifacts from its collection to museums and institutions around the world, on a temporary basis. Lease recipients have included the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum, Omega Watch Company, National Championship Reno Air Races and Space Center Houston. If you want it, we’ll help you find it.
