| The Anderson Abruzzo International Balloon Museum is the first cultural institution of its kind in the world. The museum features multimedia exhibits, theaters, and simulators, along with indoor and outdoor exhibits devoted to the history, technology, and adventure of ballooning from it’s inception to the present day and beyond. The dramatic entry hall accommodates fully inflated balloons and features a towering domed roof. A variety of roof decks and balconies provide magnificent views of the Balloon Fiesta event that takes place adjacent to the museum each fall. A launch control tower, auditorium, café, gift shop, and administrative offices are also housed in the facility. Studio SW has also designed the entire 385-acre International Balloon Fiesta Park, which not only hosts the Fiesta and other ballooning events, but many year-round sporting events as well. The park is a model of sustainability based on a recycled water system, reclamation of habitat, use of recycled paving, and methane gas extraction from landfills. The park is also the future home of the National Museum of Nuclear History & Science, designed by Studio SW, along with future performance venues, a community center, hotel, and RV park. | LOCATION:
