The Anderson Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum is home to one of the most complete collections of artifacts, images, and stories from the world of ballooning. The Museum features new exhibits that explore the past, present, and future of ballooning, as well as subjects related to the science, engineering, and technology of lighter-than-air aviation and other innovative forms of flight.
