The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall. Opened in December 2003, it provides space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space artifacts that cannot be exhibited in the museum on the National Mall. Combined, the two sites display the largest collection of aviation and space artifacts on Earth.
The Center was made possible by a $65 million gift in October 1999 to the Smithsonian Institution by Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, an immigrant from Hungary and innovator of the practice of airlines leasing their planes, instead of purchasing them.
The museum is a must visit for anyone in the area.
There is no fee to enter the museum, but it's hard to park anywhere free an walk. On site parking is available for $15 per day. There are also public transportation options, shuttles from area airports, or you can even fly your own plane to the center (well, sort of).
Visit their website for even more information.
NOTICE - Security at the entrance has tightened up, multi-tools and anything with a blade longer than 3" are not allowed.
