Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum
At the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum, visitors can learn how and why balloons fly, and how they have been used for science experiments, warfare, espionage, the exploration of space, and more. Did you know balloons were responsible for the discovery of the jet stream? The museum's "Sky Sailing!" exhibit celebrates sailplanes, paragliders and hang gliders, while "Art of the Airship" is dedicated to the first lighter-than-air craft that could travel through the winds rather than solely on them. The museum is closed on Mondays.
