Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace

The National Air and Space Museum of France is one of the first aeronautics museums in the world, both for its age and the wealth of its collections. Founded in 1919, it features an exceptional historic ensemble in the three domains of flight: aerostation, aviation and space. Thanks to a rich collection, the museum tells the incredible story of the mankind’s skyward journey. It is recognized as “Musée de France” and operates under the tutorship of the French Ministry of Defense.
Located on the Paris-Le Bourget Airport hub – Europe’s top private jet airport – the National Air and Space Museum of France stands out as a lively site museum and a direct witness to contemporary evolution in aviation. On this mythical site, birthplace to world aviation and home to many resounding exploits, the National Air and Space Museum of France offers those who visit its tarmac, halls and galleries a chance for an amazing experience throughout the history of air and space conquest.
