Montgolfier balloon exhibition

The Montgolfier balloon exhibition celebrates the historic achievement of the Montgolfier brothers, who in 1783 launched the first successful hot air balloon in France. Their invention used heated air inside a fabric envelope, allowing it to rise and float. This pioneering flight marked the beginning of human aeronautics and demonstrated that humans could achieve controlled flight. The exhibition typically showcases replicas, historical artifacts, and details about the science and innovation behind early ballooning, highlighting its significance in the development of aviation and human exploration beyond the Earth's surface.
