Design Museum exhibition will showcase habitats created for Red Planet living

A new Design Museum show exploring the potential for humans to live on Mars will feature a full-scale prototype habitat created by Hassell, the west London venue has announced.

Moving to Mars opens at the Kensington museum next month and will feature more than 150 exhibits, some provided by Nasa, the European Space Agency, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX tech company.

Hassell’s full-scale Mars habitat was created as part of Nasa’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge; the exhibition’s “survival” section will also feature a multisensory experience of the Red Planet.
