I have been Volunteering for the past 16 years for NASM. It is a privilege to work on some of the most iconic Artifacts in the World.
If they go the path many museums have taken, reducing the number of artifacts and explanatory information and replace them with hands-on, multimedia VR type "rides", they'll be making a huge mistake. Museums are not supposed amusement parks or playgrounds. Being a little bit "bored" is part of learning and something young people today need to come to terms with.
s s - Completely agree with you on this point.
The Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago is well known for its interacting exhibits. I visited again and again as a kid because of that very fact. Hands-on exhibits engage people of all ages and actually holds one's attention more than one that you just stroll past.
Love this place. You can feel as if you could be there in the cockpit as you take flight.
Been to the Steven F. Udvar Hazy museum at least once a year since I’ve moved to Virginia. They have an area on the second floor where you can see them restoring aircraft. Also, walkways at the ceiling to look down at the aircraft and eye level at the one suspended. Also have Imax with 2 or more different shows, showing daily. So much to see, plan at least 3 hours, that’s what we stay and enjoy ourselves. Total cost is $15. per car load. Have a McD inside for lunch etc. You won’t be disappointed. https://airandspace.si.edu/udvar-hazy-center

#2 Museum of the US Naval Air Force, Pensacola FL (visited once, some years agao)
#3 Udvar Hazy at KIAD (visited in Fall 2018, they even have some very rare German WW2 aircraft on display and a Horton Stealth airplane disassembled, major structural components on crades)... have fun visiting!
