After the Apollo missions, a number of Apollo suits were given to the Smithsonian for their collection. Does anyone know where the Gemini suits (specifically the G4C and G5C series) suits wound up after the Gemini Program was over?

There were over forty Gemini G4C suits made. The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian has a few of them. But who else has them?

All of the flown Gemini spacesuits, many of the training suits and some of the development suits, were transferred to the Smithsonian in 1968.

The National Air and Space Museum, in turn, loaned some of the suits to other museums for display. A good number today are inside the spacesuit vault at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center for preservation. (The same is true for Mercury and Apollo spacesuits; all of the flown examples are now Smithsonian property.)
