Museum of Flight, Seattle Aerospace Museum
USA, Seattle
The Aviation Museum was established in 1965 at the production base of the Seattle branch of the Boeing Company. In addition to one and a half hundred aircraft, there is the country's largest aviation library, an archive of photographs and slides on the topic of aviation and astronautics, an aviation research center, a Challenger training center with an interactive layout of the NASA mission control center. In addition to American-made aircraft, the museum exhibits aircraft from Germany, Russia and Japan from the First and Second World Wars.
Visitors can see some of the exhibition samples from the inside, sit in the pilot's seat. Taking into account the constant development of space technology, the exposition “Space: Exploring New Frontiers” has been created here, telling about the history of the conquest of space, which allows the museum to be awarded the status of “aerospace”.
