Thank you for helping us celebrate 15 years of our Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center! It seems like only yesterday we opened our doors--with help from the International Space Station and a replica of the Wright Flyer, of course! | National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution

Happy 20th birthday to our Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center! 🥳 Our second location, near Dulles Airport in northern Virginia, opened on this day in 2003. At the time of opening, there were 80 aircraft and 60 space artifacts on display. Since then, the Center has grown exponentially, with nearly 200 aircraft on display, over 1,500 more aviation-related artifacts, nearly 1,000 space-related artifacts, and over 100 pieces of art. What is your favorite part of visiting the Udvar-Hazy Center? #UHC20 Did
