I don't think either of the above constitutes a "space museum" on
the lines of that in D.C. and they would be disappointing to anyone
who was looking for something very similar.
The Queens museum contains some rockets used in the space
programs and the Intrepid shows the Concorde and some aircraft
including supersonic jets.
Neither documents the history of space exploration. It is not
their purpose.
