Did NASA plant a top-secret, teeny-tiny art museum on the moon 40 years ago? The PBS series History Detectives investigates the case in its season eight premiere episode, airing June 21. A miniature ceramic chip embedded with sketches by artists such as Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Robert Rauschenberg (pictured) may have been stowed away on the Apollo 12 vehicle launched in November of 1969. The artist who dreamed up the project, Forrest "Frosty" Myers, had a dream "to get six great artists together and make a tiny little museum that would be on the moon." Far out!And speaking of art museums ... the 32nd Annual Museum Mile Festival is tonight from 6-9pm. This mile-long, traffic-free block party grants free entrance to nine of America's finest museums, all along Fifth Ave.
