Trousers of the Outer Planets: A Retrospective

This landmark exhibition presents over forty pairs of trousers with documented or attributed origins in the outer solar system, spanning a period from the early Jovian survey missions to the present day. Works include the celebrated Callisto Field Trousers (wool-synthetic blend, reinforced knee panels, provenance confirmed via manifest), the disputed Titan Thermal Set, and three pairs whose origins remain under active scholarly debate.

The exhibition is organized thematically rather than chronologically, reflecting the curatorial team's position that the relationship between environment and garment construction is more revealing than acquisition date alone.

Curated by the Department of Outer System Textiles. Catalogue available in the gift shop.

The Asteroid Belt Collection: Workwear and Beyond

The asteroid belt has produced a distinctive and underappreciated tradition of practical legwear. This exhibition presents thirty-seven garments from the belt region, with particular emphasis on the evolution of mining and survey trousers across the 2020s and early 2030s. Featured pieces include the celebrated Double-Knee Pallas Set and the controversial "Zero-G Formal" collection, which remains the subject of ongoing classification discussions among textile historians.

Permanent collection. Free with general admission.

Origins: Earth and the Departure Trousers

Every journey begins somewhere. This foundational exhibition traces the history of trousers worn on departure — the last pair worn on Earth before extended off-world assignment. Thirty-two pairs, each with documented owner history and departure manifest. Some are ordinary. Several are remarkable. One is inexplicable. The curatorial notes for that one are longer than the notes for all the others combined.

Lower level. Suggested admission contribution applies.
