Review:
The Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum where high-flying adventures await as you journey through the history of “lighter-than-air flight.” Named after two Albuquerque natives, Ben Abruzzo and Maxie Anderson, famed for various ocean and continent crossings in balloons, the museum is dedicated to educating visitors about the history of balloon flight. The exhibits at the museum offer invaluable insights into the story of balloon flight, since the first flight in 1783.
You will learn about how balloon have been used for a variety of exploratory missions, experiments, sporting feats, and adventures. Displays combine historic artifacts with modern multi-media technology to create an exciting and educational environment in which to discover and learn, such as ‘How and Why Balloons Fly’, ‘Balloon Science’, ‘Recreational Ballooning’, and ‘Balloons in War’.
