Apollo 8 Artifacts

Was in Chicago last week and made a stop at the Museum Of Science And Industry where Apollo 8 is on display. Here are some photos of the capsule and other artifacts. The Apollo 8 capsule, Commander Bormans space suit, Jim Lovell's Speedmaster and a large piece of Moon rock brought back by Apollo 17.

@darty thanks for the great pictures. After Apollo 11 I believe Apollo 8 was one of the greatest missions ever flown tied with STS-1.

I agree Apollo 8 was very significant along with Apollo 17 the last mission to the Moon.
