Since the museum opened on July 1, 1976 it has become the most popular aviation museum in the world. The unique architecture of this building includes ceilings of glass in three major exhibition halls. Its girders support aircraft that seem to float overhead. The original Wright Flyer and Spirit Of St. Louis greet the museum patron at the entrance, setting the tone for the journey through nineteen additional galleries.
