Background Statement
Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum has proudly served as Colorado’s Official Air & Space Museum since 1994. The organization is dedicated to unlocking dreams of flight through educational programming, exhibitions, and events – dreams that can spark fun, wonder, and curiosity, or can even lead directly to high-paying STEM careers.
Housed in Hangar 1 of the former Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, the Air & Space Museum boasts more than 104,000 square feet of exhibit space displaying iconic aircraft, space vehicles, artifacts, and more.
In 2018, Wings opened Exploration of Flight at Centennial Airport, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the nation. The 19,000 square foot “living hangar” offers guests unprecedented opportunities to experience flight.
Each year, these two locations welcome approximately 145,000 visitors from all 50 U.S. states and more than 30 countries.
