The 1940 Air Terminal Museum is a small nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas, preserving and presenting decades of airline and civil aviation history. Located in the former Houston Municipal Airport building near William P. Hobby Airport, the museum occupies a site notable for its Art Deco design and its role as Houston’s sole airport terminal from 1940 to 1954. The facility has been partially restored and serves as a repository for aviation memorabilia, reflecting its focus on archival collection and historical interpretation. Operated as a project of the Houston Aeronautical Heritage Society, the organization functions within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector and targets visitors interested in mid-20th-century aviation heritage. The museum’s intimate size and location emphasize its role as a local cultural institution that preserves and shares regional aviation history with the public.
