ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
I don't know if this is the kind of exhibit you were looking for, but I
really liked the Science Museum of Virginia's "Newton in Space" exhibit,
which combined concepts about Newton's laws of motion with concepts
about space travel. For example, they had a harness you could wear that
was suspended from a ring above you + walk around on a simulated
moonscape while the harness pulled up on you to simulate lower gravity.
A creative combo concept, I thought.
And while I haven't seen it in person, I've seen much about it - the
Space Odyssey exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science
(especially the Astronaut on Mars demo) looks pretty awesome.

"You don't go to the science museum and get handed a pamphlet on
electricity. You go to the science museum and you put your hand on a
metal ball. Your hair sticks up straight. And you know science."
- Michael Scott, The Office
