Despite the multiple purposes of the museum, I experienced this building after hours at my senior prom in 2016. I suppose I should return and actually visit the exhibits but haven driven past the center hundreds of times on my way home, I never gave the museum much thought, One of the most (in my opinion) notable features of the museum is the airplane suspended above the lobby area. Actually. on prom night, we danced under the place and I remember worrying that it would fall down from the bass of the speakers.

The outside of the building kind of reminds me of an inverted airplane too.
