| The National Aviation and Space Exploration Wall of Honor is located along a tree-lined walkway which leads directly into the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Visitors are invited to place their name or the names of family members or friends who contributed to our nation's aviation and space exploration heritage on this permanent memorial at the only national museum dedicated to honor the pioneers of flight. |

| The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall. The building opened in December, 2003, and provides enough space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space artifacts that cannot be exhibited on the National Mall. The two sites together showcase the largest collection of aviation and space artifacts in the world. |
