The Smithsonian said that Jeff Bezos will donate $200 million to the museum, the largest gift the institution has received since its founding in 1846.
A $70 million portion will go to renovating the National Air and Space Museum and $130 million will be used to launch a new education center.
In a release, the museum said the donation from the founder of Amazon and space flight company Blue Origin will also "help enable a technological transformation of the museum's galleries and public spaces."
