The Hardware and Humanity of Intrepid
Intrepid’s Hangar Deck exhibition space is unique among historic ships. Visitors can follow the deck’s two separate paths: explore Intrepid’s technology on the port (left) side and celebrate the people who lived and worked on the ship on the starboard (right) side. The Museum’s permanent exhibition brings to life the powerful history of the aircraft carrier. Examine original artifacts, view historic video footage, and explore interactive exhibits that trace Intrepid’s Navy career from 1943 to the present. The Special Exhibition Gallery, also located on the Hangar Deck, features temporary exhibitions.

Soyuz TMA-6 Re-entry Capsule
New to the Museum is a genuine piece of space hardware, the Soyuz TMA-6 Re-entry Capsule. Learn about flying to the International Space Station while viewing a genuine piece of space hardware that, in a way, also tells the story of engineers who created pioneering spacecraft of the 60s and 70s. American entrepreneur Greg Olsen is one of the few private citizens to experience the exhilaration of spaceflight. He traveled to the Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz launcher on October 1, 2005. He performed more than 150 earth orbits, logging almost 4 million miles of weightlessness during 10 days in space. He returned to earth with a Russian cosmonaut and an American astronaut in this three-seat Soyuz TMA-6 re-entry capsule, now on display in Intrepid’s Exploreum.
The capsule is on loan to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum by Greg Olsen. |

Kamikaze: Day of Darkness, Day of Light
99 crew members were lost as a result of kamikaze attacks on Intrepid in 1944 and 1945. The multi-media experience “Kamikaze: Day of Darkness, Day of Light” transports visitors back to November 25, 1944, when Intrepid was struck by two kamikaze suicide planes. The film tells the story of these deadly attacks through the eyes and voices of two Intrepid crew members: Donald Domenic DiMarzo, one of 69 men killed in the attack, and Dean Lesnett, a survivor. A memorial wall honors the crew members who gave their lives while serving aboard the Intrepid. |

The Exploreum Hall
The Exploreum is the 13,000 square foot, fully interactive exhibition space on the Museum’s Hangar Deck. Divided into four zones, 18 new interactive exhibits designed especially for families and groups, focus on Intrepid’s history and our four educational themes of water, space, air and life at sea. Exploreum is one of the single most visited areas of the ship encouraging visitors to climb in an actual Bell 47 helicopter, play “space pinball,” and feel the sensation of being on water in a lifeboat.
