2022 was an exciting year for the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. We continued to progress on our multi-year renovation project, reopened the doors to visitors at our location on the National Mall in Washington, DC, and saw increasing numbers in visitation at our Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.
2021 was a busy year for the National Air and Space Museum. We resumed in-person events at the museum while continuing to offer high-quality digital and virtual programs and experiences for virtual visitors around the country. We also made important progress on the renovation of the Museum in DC, setting the stage for a big 2022.
Never in the history of our Museum have our start-of-the-year plans been so abruptly and severely upended as they were in 2020. We understood quickly that the COVID-19 pandemic was something that was gravely impacting not just us and our colleagues, but the global audience we seek to inform and inspire. We had to become a fully virtual experience for our visitors. Thankfully, we were well prepared for this pivot.
