Following extensive renovation, the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, US, will reopen the west end of its National Mall building later this year.

Featuring eight new and renovated exhibitions, a planetarium, museum store and Mars Café, the building’s west end will reopen to the public on October 14.

“This is one of the most exciting times in the National Air and Space Museum’s history,” said Chris Browne, director of the National Air and Space Museum.

“When we open the first reimagined galleries, we hope all visitors are inspired by artefacts on display for the first time, favourite icons of aerospace presented in new ways and diverse storytelling.”

The museum is currently undergoing a seven-year renovation that began in 2018 and includes a redesign of all 23 exhibitions and presentation spaces, complete refacing of the exterior cladding, replacement of outdated mechanical systems and other repairs and improvements.
