Upcoming Exhibitions

Jay I. Kislak World War II in the Air will examine how the revolution in warfare that took place during the war redefined the promise and peril of military aviation, as well as explore the dramatic changes to flight and culture that continue to reverberate through society today.  

The Wright brothers’ invention of the airplane not only solved a long-studied technical problem, but helped create an entirely new world.

Exploration reveals that our solar system is filled with amazingly diverse places that transform our understanding of Earth and worlds beyond.

“America by Air” will emerge from the Museum’s multi-year transformation campaign refreshed with a new layout, improved graphics, interactives, and several new artifacts including the Lincoln-Standard H.S. and the Huff-Daland Duster. The exhibition will continue to trace the history of air transportation in the United States and explore how the federal government shaped the airline industry and how improvements in technology have revolutionized air travel, changing the flying experience.
