The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, has announced the appointment of Christopher U. Browne as its new director.
Browne has served as acting director of the Museum since 2021 and before that deputy director since 2017, helping lead a multi-year renovation of the museum’s flagship building in US capital.
Before coming to Air and Space, Browne had an accomplished career in the Navy and in airport management. A graduate of the U.S. Navy’s “Top Gun” Fighter Weapons School, he served as a naval flight officer from 1980 to 1985, and from 1986 to 1987, he was a senior operations briefer for the secretary of the Navy and chief of naval operations, where he was awarded the Navy’s Commendation Medal for excellent performance.
“I’m incredibly honoured to help lead the nation’s most prominent aviation and aerospace museum,” said Browne. “The ability of this treasured cultural institution to change lives and inspire greatness is unmatched. Our collection, exhibits, scholarship, research, education and storytelling will continue to excite learners and dreamers for years to come.”
