Description of Pictures: What goes into running America’s favorite museum? To show you, we’re opening the doors to work areas only accessible to the public once a year at our annual Open House:
- Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar
- Emil Buehler Conservation Laboratory
- Collections storage rooms
- National Air and Space Museum Archives
- Exhibits workshop
Get a look at historic artifacts and documents that are not on public display and see what it takes to collect, preserve, and restore them. Meet curators, restoration specialists, conservators, collections specialists, archivists, and others. Participate in hands-on activities and special tours.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Accessing as Spider: The system has identified your IP as being a spider.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. AIROP1_180328_009.JPG: Fabrication Shop: Many of the smaller artifacts in the collection require an exhibit case for viewing. The Fabrication Shop constructs these cases as well as any risers to support the artifact. The Fabrication Shop also constructs other gallery structures including replicas of buildings and ships.
2. AIROP1_180328_032.JPG: Exhibits Production: NASM Exhibits Production uses a CNC router machine to cut and mill and variety of materials, including wood, plastics, and metals. Using computer-generated designs, the CNC router table can save time cutting simple shapes, as well as milling complex designs.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
