Aviators, Poets and Dreamers Exhibit

February 14-21, 2016

The exhibit, Aviators, Poets and Dreamers asks the question, “Why do we fly?” and finds its answers in the poems and poetic writings of some of the world’s famous aviators.

The exhibit features over-sized beautiful fabric prints of well-known aviators such as Charles and Anne Lindbergh, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Amelia Earhart as well as lesser known but important others like Bessie Coleman, John Gillespie Magee, Jr., and Beryl Markham combined with their beautiful prose. Visitors will see how some of the world’s greatest aviators were inspired by their travels through the sky and in some cases into space.

“You’ll be immersed in the lore, history and poetry of aviators from the early days of flight to the space age,” said Andrew Parton, Executive Director of the Cradle of Aviation Museum.

This exhibit is free with museum admission and will be on display during the school break from February 14-21.
