National Air and Space Museum

About

This museum was originally a space etched with America's history and technology, but it now holds, intact, the spirit of those who dreamed of human flight and space exploration. Light passing across the ceiling flows over the dark display cases, as though the air of the past and the curiosity of the present were crossing paths. The moment you walk through the galleries, the sound of an aircraft's wings cutting through the air brushes past your ear. The cool, composed silhouette of a spacecraft approaches like a small step taken toward the darkness. Here, people confront both the memory of utopia and the limits of reality at once. This space, where humanity's longing for flight and space unfolds, becomes an eternal home above the clouds for those who cannot forget the moment of soaring through open air.
