Where do we come from?
Where are we going?
Are we alone?
How does humanity fit into the grand scheme of the Universe?
The Hubble travelling exhibition Our Place in Space
is designed to get you thinking about these questions.
Our Place in Space
Our Place in Space embarks on a breathtaking visual journey
from the exhibition space to the borders of the observable Universe.
The exhibition reveals how we have expanded our cosmic horizon,
breaking away from the boundaries imposed by our planet’s atmosphere
to explore the furthest reaches of time and space.
Astronomers and artists present their own interpretations of where we are,
where we belong, what our past might have been like, and what our future might bring.
Combining the different visions to create a fusion of science and art
provides a more unique and complete view of the Universe we live in.
Here are some of the impressions left by visitors at the exhibition in Venice.
"I didn't realise when I came to Venice that I would literally see the world."
“Space never ceases to amaze us. Neither does art.”
“Thank you, you made me discover a new world”
“A magic and colourful experience, where science meets art.”
“Space is amazing. So is this.”
“A wonderful exploration about how small we really are.”
“A joy for the eyes!”
“Marvellous! I was crying, moved by the emotion.”
“Beyond my mental limits.”
“Our Place in Space is...a little point in the Universe.”
