"How Things Fly" -- A Major New Exhibit at the National Air and Space Museum

“事物如何飞行”是国家航空航天博物馆正在制作的一个重要的新展览馆，计划于1995年开放。这个永久性展览的目的是向尽可能广泛的观众传达飞机和航天器飞行的基本原理。“事物如何飞行”在内容和执行上都与博物馆的其他展览有很大的不同。“事物如何飞行”不是依靠静态的历史文物展示，而是使用互动设备和现场演示，旨在激发好奇心，邀请游客参与，并为儿童和成人提供机会，让他们自己发现一些关于飞行的基本问题的答案。“事物如何飞行”将是博物馆第一个完全致力于实践学习的大型展览。它将结合其他博物馆的一些最佳互动展览理念，并在可能的情况下对其进行改进，并包括大量的原创展品。虽然旨在帮助参观者更充分地欣赏博物馆的藏品，但合作的努力，如出版物，巡回展览和教育推广计划，将扩大展览在全国的影响。＊＊＊

9353495 Brennan "How Things Fly" is a major new exhibit gallery being produced by the National Air and Space Museum and is scheduled to open in 1995. The goal of this permanent exhibition is to convey, to the broadest possible audience, the essential principles by which aircraft and spacecraft fly. "How Things Fly" represents an important departure from other exhibitions at the Museum in both content and execution. Instead of relying on static displays of historical artifacts, "How Things Fly" will use interactive devices and live demonstrations designedto spark curiosity, invite visitor participation, and provide children and adults with the opportunity to discover for themselves answers to some of their fundamental questions about flight. "How Things Fly" will be the first major exhibiton at the Museum devoted entirely to hands-on learning. It will incorporate some of the best interactive exhibitry ideas from othermuseums, improve upon them where possible, and include a substantial number of original exhibits. While intended to help visitors more fully appreciate the Museum's collection, the cooperative efforts, such as publications, a traveling exhibition, and educational outreach programs, will extend the exhibition's impact across the nation. ***
