A string quartet performs Pink Floyd's iconic music in a candlelit setting at The Museum of Flight.
Candlelight brings a tribute to Pink Floyd to The Museum of Flight on Thursday, October 8, 2026. A string quartet handles the music, and the room is filled with thousands of LED candles. It's part of the Candlelight series, which has become a regular thing at the museum, with previous tributes to Adele, Joe Hisaishi, Metallica, and Billie Holiday. Audiences describe the experience as creative, enchanting, and new.
The venue is as much a part of the night as the music. The Museum of Flight dates back to 1965 and preserves the history and evolution of flight, housing more than 150 aircraft and 25,000 small objects. The candles illuminate the planes and spacecraft on display while the quartet plays classical takes on contemporary songs. It's a strange, specific kind of pairing—Pink Floyd's music and a room full of aircraft—and that's exactly what the series is built on.
