Blog
Through the Balloon Museum's new blog, we hope you’ll find inspiration, a sense of community, and a touch of humor—because we could all use a little more joy in our day-to-day lives. Take a sneak peak behind the scenes of our new Special Collections Library (opening soon). Watch for upcoming articles, short videos and image galleries featuring our collection of artifacts, stories from around the state, reflections from locals, moments shared by balloon crews and more.

Written in celebration of National Library Week - Find Your Joy!"Ever wonder how you organize a library where every book is about the same thing? We can personally tell you it takes a ton of drawing boards and a very dedicated volunteer named Brenda! Our collections team (and Brenda) has spent since 2023 sorting through international treasures and out-of-print gems to create a one-of-a-kind research hub right here in ABQ."
