Cosmos Discovery Bratislava Grand Opening

In September I was fortunate to attend the grand opening of Cosmos Discovery in Bratislava, Slovakia. Cosmos Discovery is currently the largest exhibition dedicated to space exploration in the world. The highlights of the exhibition include Gemini and Sojuz capsules, Apollo landing module, various space suits, as well as various personal items of astronauts. Perhaps the most precious item is the engine part of Saturn V rocket, that was recently recovered and restored. Visitors can see the authentic part of Saturn V for the first time outside the United States. The exhibition lasts from September 12th, 2016 until mid-January 2017.

Titanic: First Voyage, Real Artifacts, Real Fates Exhibition

In January 2016, I visited and photographed the exhibition dedicated to Titanic’s first and only voyage, held in Bratislava, Slovakia. In this exhibition, visitors can see the real Titanic artifacts salvaged from the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps a bit low-key compared to other large scale exhibitions the Titanic exhibition is well worth visiting for those interested in naval history.

Gateway to Space Exhibition

In June 2015, I photographed the Gateway to Space exhibition in Prague. This exciting exhibition maps the achievements of space exploration from the early days to present times. There were severa scaled-down and full scale models, including the Space Shuttle cockpit, sections of MIR space station and several space suits.
