Closed for renovations until Summer 2008. During the closure, the National Air and Space Museum is acting as a temporary home to many of the most beloved exhibits. See websites for more information. This eclectic museum is sometimes referred to as "The Nation's Attic." It houses numerous memorabilia and artifacts collected throughout American history. The American Presidency section exhibits the many facets of the nation's highest office and the impact it has had in those who have held it. Another section contains objects that highlight the cultural history of the country including Mohammed Ali's boxing gloves and the inaugural ball gowns of many of the First Ladies. Exhibits on science and technology, military history and much more can be found on the three floors of this fascinating museum. Stop by the old-fashioned ice cream parlor before you leave.

Kevin

Another must-see on The Mall

(Rating: 3) by Kevin on January 1, 2009

This is place is magical for everyone. From those who slept through American History class to serious buffs. There are countless one of a kind treasures here like the original flag that inspired the "Star Spangled Banner" and a mint condition collection of the American automobile. Like all of the Smithsonian museums you could spend an entire day in just this one museum.

AMAZING!!! If you have any idea about what the institution itself has to offer, This brand new channel added to direct tv HD programming is a mind blower!...
