De la web de la NASA:

"The final chapter is about to close on NASA's 30-year space shuttle program.
The agency's three remaining space-flown orbiters — Discovery, Endeavour and Atlantis — each made their last flights in 2011, and are now being prepped for retired life in museums. Discovery has been gifted to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Stephen F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., while Endeavour is bound for the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Atlantis is due to stay close to home at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Additionally, the prototype orbiter Enterprise, which never flew to space, moved to New York City's Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. Enterprise previously resided at the Smithsonian."
