I found this the more interesting: https://airandspace.si.edu/collections/search/apollo?filter%...
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.
For personal use it should fall into the fair use category, so you should be fine.
This is interesting and made me want to find more NASA + arts.
I found this: "NASA Langley Student Art Contest"

Of course this fictional space travel advertisements: "Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System"

JPL has a studio that has produced a few art+science pieces, including the exoplanet travel posters.
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-...
The POC is Dan Goods, who is a graduate of Art Center College of Design. The Deep Space Network sculpture described in the article is on his vimeo: https://vimeo.com/93420747

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).
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.
