Airport Museum

The Airport Museum is located near the MAG Escape Lounge in GSP’s Grand Hall. The museum provides a detailed look at GSP from the founders’ vision in the 1950’s to the present day and on to an exciting future through 2040 and beyond. The exhibits feature rarely seen photos, videos, and first-hand accounts of the airport’s growth and its introduction of many aviation innovations that are now considered common at airports across the globe. The museum is open to all departing and arriving passengers at GSP and is open 24 hours a day.
