Heroes of the Sky: Adventures in Early Flight coming soon to the Tunica Museum
Heroes of the Sky: Adventures in Early Flight, 1903-1939, opening on November 10, 2008 at the Tunica Museum, celebrates the first remarkable decades of flight through stories of the fliers, businessmen, and inventors who transformed airplanes from the novel inventions of tinkers into sophisticated machines of transportation, commerce, and war.
Using historic artifacts, documentary videos, graphic panels, and hands-on activities, Heroes of the Sky introduces visitors to the men and women who had the vision to see flight as more than a simple curiosity; to the barnstormers and record breakers who pushed the limits of what the new machines could do;and to the explorers who saw airplanes as a means of expanding our understanding of the world.
Heroes of the Sky: Adventures in Early Flight, 1903-1939, has been made possible through NEH on the Road, a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is brought to you by the Mid-America Arts Alliance, and was organized by The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan.
This exhibit will be on display starting November 10, 2008 - January 7, 2009. There is no admission fee.
Please call Darlene Griffith at 662-363-6631 or check our website for a current listing of special events to be held in conjunction with this exhibit.
