Cool stuff. Exhibits in cases need a good dusting. I think they need to hire someone to take care of place An archivist or preservationist. Otherwise great place for events.
Cool place for an event. A lot of history to look at and a big space that can be transformed into whatever is needed.
The P&W hangar museum is open to the public and has several engines on display. Though the total number of things to look at isn't very large, you won't find this kind of selection anywhere else! Each engine has a plaque with a description and a bit of information about the history. They also have a small section of experimental engines and propellers that never made it to production, with an explanation of what they are and why. You can follow Pratt and Whitney history from its foundation as a tooling company and a guy fiddling in his garage, to the present day.nnThe only thing to be cautious of is sometimes there are events taking place here, and the museum might be closed to the public. The building has heating, but not air conditioning. It's usually warm inside, so if you visit when it's cool outside, make sure you have layers you can remove.nnIt can be a bit confusing to find the museum because it is on company property, much of which is now closed off by gates and accessible only with a company badge. To get to the museum from the Silver Lane entrance (which I recommend), keep to the right. It'll look like you're going to a badge controlled lift gate, but the right-most lane diverges just in time, and will take you right to the museum parking lot.
A small Pratt and Whitney museum located at the companies main campus in East Hartford. Pratt and Whitney make some quality engines, and this is a nice place to appreciate the history of the company. I would recommend visiting if you're an employee or an aircraft/mechanical aficionado.
Nice for adults who are interested in airplane and jet engines, will probably bore young and older kids
