The record
A section in the Hall of Space at a spaceflight museum, where the Wall is told as part of the space race.
A section sits in the Cosmosphere's Hall of Space, a gallery that runs the space race and the Cold War together — V-2 rockets, Vostok and Apollo hardware. Reading the Wall as an episode in the same contest that put people in orbit is a distinctly American framing, and it is one of the few museum contexts in this catalogue where the segment is not the centrepiece but a supporting exhibit.
