Museum Curator Allan Needell will review the life of Neil Armstrong and discuss artifacts in the national collection that relate to his career in aerospace, especially the Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

The Ask An Expert lecture series at the National Mall building is presented every Wednesday at noon. A Museum staff member talks to the public about the history, collection, or personalities related to a specific artifact or exhibition in the Museum.
