Travel Journal 07: Washington DC - Air & Space Museum

Our third museum was the disappointing Air & Space Museum. Since our visit to this Museum in 1998, nothing substantial has changed except for a most recent exhibit that chronicled the history of commercial flights. It was a previous exhibit but this time they wanted to make it more appealing by adding sections of what stewardesses wore from the 20’s, 30’s till now and also what the passengers wore during those times too. Truly, in the 70’s, things went downhill as travel became more and more available to everyone. It was no longer a big deal to “dress up” and travel. It’s just one big commuter bus on air, much like the Greyhound. Their high-tech exhibits are not as high-tech compared to what the average child carries with him – a Wii, an iPod or a DVD player. It was really behind the curve, considering that this museums goal was to inspire the future – young children – to explore science and outer space.
