How is the museum staffed?
There are about 260 National Air and Space Museum employees. Most, including administrative and curatorial staff, are based at the museum’s flagship building on the National Mall. Some 50 staffers are based at the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration and Storage Facility in Suitland, Md. Fewer than 20 staffers are assigned to the Udvar-Hazy Center. Smithsonian staff not directly employed by the museum, such as store cashiers and custodial workers, are also based at museum locations. The museum is supported by some 600 volunteers who serve primarily as education docents and visitor services specialists at the National Mall building and the Udvar-Hazy Center.
