Voyage was designed by Vincent Ciulla and his Sarasota-based firm, Vincent Ciulla Design.

The exhibition seamlessly blends sculpture and a rich science education experience, and conveys an aesthetic beauty worthy of placement on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

It consists of 13 anodized aluminum units for: the Sun, the nine planets, comets/asteroids, a description of the Solar System, and a description of the Solar System as part of the Milky Way galaxy.

The design expresses the intellectual content of the subject using shapes and elements evocative of space, flight, and exploration. The 8.5-foot tall units for the Sun and nine planets provide the position of these worlds from a distance. From the front, a unit’s tall vertical element virtually disappears from view (see Units), and the visitor is presented with the 3-dimensional model world laser-sculpted in

crystal, together with a full color porcelain enamel storyboard meant to transport the visitor to that world.

The exhibition is accessible to the visitor with physical impairment, and contains tactile elements for the visitor who has a visual impairment.

The only difference between the exhibition on the National Mall and a replica available to a community is that the 13 units are constructed of solid anodized aluminum rather than stainless steel, cutting the exhibition cost in half using equally durable material.
