Museum Guide

What's Here:

Opened in 1994, the Norwegian Aviation Museum (Norsk Luftfartsmuseum) combines the Norwegian Air Force collection, (formerly at Gardermoen), with exhibits from the Norwegian Civil Aviation Museum, to portray all aspects of Norwegian aviation history. Housed in a specially constructed building shaped like a two-bladed propeller, the museum is located on the site of a former World War Two Luftwaffe air base. The museum houses an extensive collection of aircraft, including a number of unique or very rare types. Several Luftwafe aircraft have been rescued from Norwegian fjords in recent years, including two Junkers Ju 88s, and these will gradually be restored to display condition.
