\nThe Hindenburg ushered in the idea of luxury airship travel and became a pop culture favorite after its maiden voyage in 1936, with glamorous movie stars and celebrities among its passengers. The airship made 63 successful flights to points in Europe, South America and along the East Coast of the United States.<\/p>
\nThe immersive experience is organized into four sections: Origins and Engineering, Life Aboard the Flying Hotel, The Final Flight and Legacy and Myth. Through rare artifacts and storytelling, visitors will explore how the Hindenburg became both a symbol of innovation and one of the most luxurious aviation experiences of its time.<\/p>
\n\u201cWe all know how the Hindenburg story ended, but there is a much bigger tale to tell about how this airship captured the world's imagination,\u201d said Abigail Erickson-Torres, president and CEO of the Frontiers of Flight Museum. \u201cThis experience looks to highlight the ambition, design and elegance that shaped early air travel while showcasing some rare artifacts.\u201d<\/p>
\nThis global-first, immersive exhibit explores the history, pop culture, luxury and engineering marvel of the Hindenburg, one of the most iconic airships of the 20th century.
