NEW EXHIBIT ALERT: The French have great films, great fries, and great flights! Come learn about the history of flight before the Wright brothers, from the hot air balloon to the propeller. This collection of original manuscripts is sure to make you wistful for simpler times when catching a bit of air in the sky was something to write home about. Contemplate this the next time you feel compelled to complain about your cramped transatlantic flight!
