A timely and exciting development worth sharing with the community:
The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum has officially announced that its new gallery, World War I: The Birth of Military Aviation, will open to the public on July 28, 2025—a date that poignantly marks the anniversary of Austria-Hungary’s declaration of war on Serbia in 1914, and thus the outbreak of the Great War.
This forthcoming gallery is part of the museum’s next major phase of renovation and represents a landmark moment in the public presentation of early military aviation. Visitors can expect a richly curated, visually compelling experience that honors the pioneers, machines, and aerial legacies of the First World War.
