National Air and Spacce Museum

The National Air and Space Museum was completed in 1976, and contains the largest collection of aircraft and space craft in the world. Needless to say, the museum is very popular with visitors – indeed it is the most popular of the Smithsonian museums. Highlights include various space craft from the Apollo missions, and also a sample of moon rock that visitors are free to touch.
