The exhibition will remain open for a long time and invitations have been sent to official establishments, government and private sectors to enable those wanting to benefit from the exhibition.

The booklet, released by the department, contains valuable information on aviation and flying attempts made in the initial stages, especially the development of flying through its different ages up to now.

Besides the extinct creatures and animals, the exhibition provides information on how animals and aircraft fly. The exhibition includes the success and breakthrough of man's quest to conquer space, beginning from the first known flying attempt 500 years ago, punctuated by a series of developments encompassing the first flight in 1907, until the 1960s and the present stage of advanced space knowledge.
