Some of those are lovely! I never knew!
I can't be hit by a wave of nostalgia, for I was not born for 20 years, but it seems like in the 60s, more attention was paid to culture and art. I don't think art would be considered as part of any modern scientific project.. then again, I don't know.
That max-q work hit me in just the right spot, I'd love that on my wall (and a wall worthy of it).

From a random cursory sampling of art pieces, I could not find one which allowed reproduction. I'd love to be able to print a poster-size reproduction and hang it in my home.
While there is certainly value in this, I get the impression nowadays that NASA is doing everything but making meaningful progress in human space flight.

Its website is: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/thestudio/. They've made a few pieces that are around the JPL campus, and some which have traveled. Some are described in this article: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/aug/07/nasa-secret-...
