Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum Foundation

The Mission of the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum Foundation is to raise funds, foster public recognition and provide and build membership for the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum.

In 1978, Albuquerque balloonists Ben Abruzzo and Maxie Anderson, along with partner Larry Newman, made history when they completed the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by gas balloon. Now, a museum named in their honor is making history in Albuquerque.

The Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum is the world's premiere facility dedicated to the art, culture, science, history, sport and spectacle of ballooning. It features one of the finest collections of ballooning equipment and memorabilia in the world.
