"The Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the history of women in aviation and space and the documentation of their continuing contributions today and in the future."

Welcome to the online home of the International Women's Air & Space Museum. Located at Burke Lakefront Airport, in Cleveland Ohio, the museum is a repository of information about women in aviation and space. Selected information from our collections is available on this website. You will also find items from our Gift and Book store, and information about our many events held throughout the year. Take some time to browse our website, and while you're here, why don't you join us?
