2. The Smithsonian Institutes is an agency owning many museums from history to science. One of their most popular one is the Nation Air and Space Museum, located in Washington, DC. Knowing that many Americans cannot visit the museum in person, they created a website that allows them to share their exhibits and other information. Here you will find lots of information that will help you continue your journey learning about gliders and airplanes.
