MiG-21 Project Exhibit
July 26, 2025 to January 26, 2026
MiG-21 Project Exhibit at The Museum of Flight!
The Museum of Flight’s dazzling new exhibit is the world premiere of The MiG-21 Project, South African artist Ralph Ziman’s 5-year, multidisciplinary project transforming a decommissioned Cold War-era, Soviet-designed MiG-21 fighter jet into a stunning work of art entirely covered in tens of millions of colorful glass beads.
The reclaimed jet turns an icon of violence into a symbol of resilience and collaboration.“The aim of The MiG-21 Project,” said Ziman, “is to take the most mass-produced supersonic fighter aircraft and to turn it from a machine of war into something that looks beautiful, changes the meaning of it.”
