The Smithsonian
museums are free
to visitors.
merica's Smithsonian Institution houses the world's finest collection of human artifacts in the
world. Currently, the Smithsonian encompasses 19 separate and magnificent units, mostly on
the National Mall and nearby in downtown Washington, D.C., but also including the National Zoo,
two museums in New York City, and the striking Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., at
14390 Air and Space Museum Pkwy. on the far side of Dulles International Airport.
This latter facility is part of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, one of the most popular
and most heavily visited of the entire group; its D.C. location is at 6th St. and Independence Ave. SW. Like
the other Smithsonian sites, there is no charge for admittance other than parking fees similar to those at
the National Zoo and the Udvar-Hazy Center, and for special shows at certain sites, such as those presented in the Lockheed Martin IMAX Theater at the Air & Space National Mall unit.
Needless to say, anyone with an interest in air or space travel is sure to be thrilled by what they find in
these two incredible facilities. Although there are countless fascinating exhibits, flight simulators, and
hands-on displays to enjoy, it is the actual historic aircraft and spacecraft that make this collection fascinating. On the Mall are the Wright Brothers' original 1903 Flyer, Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis,
the Bell X-1 flown by Chuck Yeager, John Glenn's Friendship 7 orbiting capsule, an LM-2 Lunar Module,
a Viking Mars lander, historic airliners such as the iconic Douglas DC-3, and many more.
At the much larger Udvar-Hazy Center, visitors can view the actual B-29 Enola Gay, which dropped
an atomic bomb on Hiroshima; a supersonic Concorde jet; magnificently restored Boeing 307 and 367
airliners; a Lockheed L1049F "Super G" Constellation; a North American F-86A Sabre, Lockheed P-38J
Lightning and massive SR71A Blackbird military aircraft; the Space Shuttle Discovery; the superlightweight GlobalFlyer; and all manner of piston and jet-powered fighters, helicopters, and more.
