Museum of Aeronautics and Space

The National Air and Space Museum is one of the most interesting museums not only in the United States but also in the world. It houses the most extensive collection of historical aircraft and spacecraft on the planet. Almost all exhibits are original historical specimens, or their exact copies. Most of them, of course, are devoted to the exploits of the Americans.

In the exposition you can see the airplane on which Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic Ocean, the famous glider of the Wright brothers, the compartment of the legendary Apollo 11 and even a model of a spacecraft from Star Trek. There are also exhibits in the museum that tell about Soviet aviation: the SS-20 rocket, tubes powered by astronauts and the certificate of the first cosmonaut on Earth, Yuri Gagarin. By the way, he is dedicated to a separate stand. But the most popular is the hall dedicated to aircraft from the Second World War and the Korean War.

For sophisticated visitors there are interactive entertainment - for example, a special cockpit of the Boeing pilot or a space shuttle simulator. Special stands immerse you in aerospace experiments. In addition, you can climb into some aircraft and study them from the inside.

Another important mission of the Air and Space Museum is that as part of the Smithsonian Institution, it is a major scientific center for the study of aviation and space flight history, planetology, geology and geophysics.
