Astronaut
The exploration of space is the greatest journey humanity has ever undertaken. What does it take to be part of the journey? What does it take to be… an astronaut? Narrated by Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels), Astronaut is the next best thing to being there. Feel the excitement of a space launch, experience astronaut training, and discover the dangers and opportunities of space exploration. This 35-minute show is designed for general audiences, and includes a live segment on the current night sky.

These lands, water, and waterways are the unceded territories of the Dakota, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. The Museum is committed to reflecting the continued legacy of all the original peoples of this province, including the Ithiniwak, Denesułine, Anishininiwak, Inuit, and Nakota.
We acknowledge the harms of the past, are committed to improving relationships in the spirit of reconciliation, and appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect.
Manitoba Museum is accredited by Imagine Canada for excellence in non-profit accountability, transparency and governance.
