National Air and Space Museum + BrightestYoungThings.com + Yuri's Night Present:
2001
A SPACE PARTY

What is the party about?
Yuri’s Night is a global celebration of humanity’s past, present, and future in space. Events are held around the world in commemoration of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to venture into space in April, 1961. And if that wasn't enough, Stanley Kubrick's cinematic masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey had its world premiere right here in Washington DC 50 years ago.
It's like all the stars have aligned and my god, it's full of stars.

Open to the public April 8 – May 28, the installation will be the centerpiece of the museum’s celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary.
