The mission of the TWA Museum is “to preserve and celebrate the extraordinary legacy of Trans World Airlines (TWA), educate visitors about its pioneering spirit and contributions to aviation history, and to inspire future generations.”
From the birth of airmail to the inception of passenger air travel to the post-WWII era of global route expansion, TWA led the way for 75 years. The great influence that Trans World Airlines has had on MKC and the City of Kansas City, Missouri, is one that history can never ignore.
