Matthew Hersch, a National Air and Space Museum Guggenheim Fellow, takes questions from the audience during an "Ask an Expert" lecture in the National Mall building. Museum staff members regularly conduct informal discussions with the public about the history, collection, or personalities related to a specific artifact or exhibition in the Museum.
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
