The traveling exhibition is the primary element of the MarsQuest Project. The exhibition experience, carefully keyed to current events in Mars exploration, transports visitors to the surface of the Red Planet. There they have the opportunity to share in the spirit and thrill of exploration, emulate the data gathering and the interpretation of phenomena concurrently underway, and come to appreciate the similarities and differences between Earth and Mars. MarsQuest aims to build on the excitement created by the scientific exploration of the Red Planet. Right now we're exploring Mars, a breathtaking planet that intrigues us with its similarities to and differences from Earth.
