Students will be awestruck by the magnitude of scientific and technological exhibitions on display in America's capital city. From space-crafts to spies, Washington DC's museums trace the sciences through history and into the future, offering an insight into the reality of scientific research.
The National Air and Space Museum houses the world's largest collection of historic aeronautical artefacts and is an important centre for scientific and technological research.
