ANN's phenomenal trip to Albuquerque for the 2010 ABQ Balloon
Fiesta is the gift that keeps on giving... both with the memories
we have of the extraordinary visual delights of that week as well
as the tremendous opportunities our Aero-TV crews had to experience
so much of the world of ballooning, its people and its history.
One of the more intriguing aspects of that trip was our visit to
the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum. The
Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum presents
the development of ballooning through historic, scientific and
artistic objects reflecting world-wide achievements in this
field.
Their holdings were brought together through the efforts of the
Anderson and Abruzzo families, the City of Albuquerque, various
local, national and international supporters, and with the support
of the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum
Foundation.
Collections include material donated by individuals directly
involved in ballooning endeavors, as well as by ballooning and
history enthusiasts from all over the world. They also hold the
Soukup and Thomas International Balloon and Airship Museum
collection, donated to the City of Albuquerque through the City of
Mitchell, South Dakota in 2000. The Balloon Museum's collection
includes more than fifty historic and contemporary gondolas, many
accompanied by complete balloon systems.
Join Aero-TV and Marilee Schmit Nason, Ph.D., Curator of
Collections on a tour of this spectacular facility....
