Information on National Air and Space Museum

Open for over 50 years, the National Air and Space Museum is one of the most popular Smithsonian institutions in the United States. The museum features a large collection of aircraft and spacecraft from different period in history, including the original Wright Brothers plane, the Sprit of St. Louis, and the Friendship-7 space module. The museum contains so many large craft (including the space shuttle Enterprise) that a second building, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, was commissioned. Admission to both buildings of the museum is free.
