About
The Museum’s Permanent Collection
Arkansas Air and Military Museum has a little over 2,000 artifacts. These artifacts range from small personal items all the way to 40-foot-long aircraft. If you have a question about artifacts we have please reach out to the curator Hallie Cartwright (cartwrighth.aamm@gmail.com).
There are two rotating exhibits at Arkansas Air and Military Museum. The first is located in the front lobby and rotates every one to two years. This area usually covers deep-dive topics. The second area can be found in our old terminal building. This is known as the Biography Room. In this space you will find a new personal story of a veteran every six months.
