Late last week, I had an opportunity to catch an evening flick at the National Air & Space Museum IMAX theater. (Inception was excellent, highly recommend it) When the movie ended around 10:30 PM the museum was long past closed and the completely empty exhibit hall was a brilliant sight to behold. During the daytime, the museum is lit naturally through the massive windows that face the National Mall. At night however, spotlights set between the two levels light the main exhibit hall. Unfortunately I only had my iPhone on me, but I did my best to capture some of aviation’s most historic artifacts in a different light.
