Whem Ankh: The Cycle of Life in Ancient Egypt - offers visitors the chance to follow a day in the life of our mummies as we can best re-create them historically. Using three years of research and a stunning theatrical styled presentation, you'll get to know Nes-hor and his family as they lived in the City of Khent-min in the year 195 BCE.

StarStation One - the only official program that explains what is happening with the new International Space Station. Sanctioned by NASA and sponsored by Space Station Houston, The Boeing Corporation and the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, this exhibit gives clues as to what is happening with the construction of the space station and what it will mean to all of us when the station is up and running.
