I saw this on Facebook, online bankruptcy auction for John Nurminen Events with big 1/1 space models.

These models and full-scale mockups appear to have been part of a 20,000 square foot exhibit "NASA: A Human Adventure," as built by John Nurminen Events.
NASA: A Human Adventure exhibition tells an inspiring story of NASA's remarkable accomplishments in manned space flights and space exploration. The exhibition shows almost 300 historically significant artifacts from the U.S.'s and Soviet Union's space programs – many of which have come back from space. The NASA: A Human Adventure exhibition has toured around the world since beginning of 2011.

Look at these exhibits up for auction and dream! Can you imagine having a full scale Mercury capsule? Wow.

I'd prefer the full-scale Gemini replica.

I thought about checking shipping costs from Finland, but then I decided that was thinking too small. So I found this 3000 square meter plot of seaside property for sale, just one mile from the auction site! I'll buy all of the 1:1 models, build my own private space museum, and spend my days reliving all M-G-A-STS missions in real time and eating poronkäristys!

When NASA: A Human Adventure arrived in Italy (2017, Milan), I was called to take care of the event and its programming.
The pieces on display were really interesting (especially those that are not for sale in this auction). The mockups are well done and I hope they go to people who know how to value them.

They sold lots individually and together. Looks like it sold as a lot for half a million.
