Catherine M. 🍷March 1, 2013This museum is AMAZING! replica of the airport's original terminal in the 1930s. Beautiful! And quiet. The library is a great place to work or read while you wait.- Hannah GonzalesJuly 6, 2016The museum and library are incredible! I've always seen their exhibits throughout the terminal but checked out the actual museum and library for the first time. Best way to kill time at the airport!

Sean HowellOctober 30, 2019Was more than 100 flights before I took ten minutes to take a look. I love the art collection in terminals but aviation history is cool
The Bold ItalicMarch 11, 2011The library is a functional research library, and it can be used by appointment, or on a drop-in, read-in basis for fliers who would like to pass some time with a good book about WWI dogfights. Read more
