AmericanAirlines C.R. Smith Museum(R)


Booking Events | Gifts That Last A Lifetime


The AmericanAirlines C.R. Smith Museum is much more than a museum. It's a sight-and-sound, hands-on, window-seat look at the world of flight. It's an adventure offering you a chance to hear, see, touch and be a part of the exciting aviation industry. Best of all, it's a great place for the entire family - or any group - to enjoy time and time again.

The C.R. Smith Museum, just south of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, is a one-of-a-kind adventure into the world of commercial aviation. The museum opened in July 1993, and is dedicated to past and present American Airlines employees and C.R. Smith, longtime American Airlines president and aviation pioneer.

The museum is a non-profit organization publicly funded by the generous gifts of corporate partners, AMR employees, AMR retirees and museum friends. The museum is operated by the C.R. Smith Aviation Museum Foundation and emphasizes learning through hands-on displays.
