Музеят на авиацията е основан през 1991г и разказва за развитието и постиженията на българската авиация. Музеят е филиал на Националния военноисторически музей и е разположен в непосредствена близост до летище Пловдив.

Музеят на авиацията разполага с две богати експозиции - вътрешна и външна. Външната експозиция е разгърната на голяма площ и на нея са разположени множество летателни машини. Сред най-ценните експонати на музея е зелен военен хидроплан Арадо - 196 А-3 "Акула" - единственият запазен експонат в целия свят. Произведен е през 1938г в Германия и е доставен в България през 1943г. Във външната част на музея посетителите могат да видят още спортни, транспортни, военни самолети, изтребители от различни поколения и др.

Вътрешната експозиция на музея разказва не само за историята на българската авиация, но и за успехите на България в областта на космонавтиката. Тук може да се види оригиналният спускаем космически апарат на първия български космонавт Георги Иванов (член на международния екипаж на космическия кораб "Союз 33", изстрелян в орбита на 10 април 1979г). В музея се пази и оригиналният костюм и скафандърът на Георги Иванов. Спускаемият апарат е изложен заедно с оригиналния му парашут, който заема площ от 1000 кв. м и тежи 160кг.

В експозицията, посветена на Космоса, са показани българските разработки на космическа техника и космически храни. Посетителите могат да видят как изглеждат в космически вариант боб по манастирски , таратор или мляко с мюсли. В музея може да се види и т.нар. височинен костюм, предназначен за летене на голяма височина. С такъв костюм е бил облечен Юрий Гагарин по време на първия си полет в космоса през 1961г.

Развитието на авиацията в България е проследено на специални табла със снимки и документи. Една от най-интересните сбирки в Музея на авиацията е посветена на Асен Христов Йорданов. Това е създателят на първия самолет, построен в България. Макет на този самолет може да бъде видян в музея. Йорданов се оказва и единственият авантюрист, дръзнал да участва в конкурс в САЩ за околосветски полет, който така и не се осъществява заради липса на други участници. По-късно българинът се превръща в един от най-големите конструктори в областта на авиацията в света.

Една от атракциите на музея е възможността посетителите му да се снимат в кабината на автентичен учебно-боен самолет "Миг 15" от 50-те години на ХХ век. Посетителите на музея могат да видят още съвременни реактивни двигатели, оръжия, бомби, снаряди, ракети с топлинно насочване, черна кутия на...

The crown jewel of the Plovdiv Museum of Aviation undoubtedly lies in its remarkable exhibit—the "Soyuz-33" descent capsule. This iconic piece of history alone is worth the visit. However, the museum offers so much more. With a diverse collection of aircraft and artifacts, it provides a comprehensive journey through aviation history. From vintage planes to “cutting-edge” technology, each exhibit showcases the evolution of flight. The museum's informative displays and interactive features captivate visitors of all ages, making it a must-see attraction in Plovdiv. With its stellar exhibits and immersive experience, the Plovdiv Museum of Aviation earns a well-deserved five-star...

Took two three year old boys who were very happy to see planes up close. It's an outdoor museum mostly with lots of previous Bulgarian airforce inventory - soviet equipment. Interesting place to visit for anyone wanting to see Warsaw pact era planes and helicopters, but also there's a small inside museum which contains a capsule from soviet space missions (which had Bulgarian participation), and some displays of the early air force (one of the first, if not the first in the world, to drop bombs during a war). Also, at the end, a military serviceman gave us a balloon over the fence, so that was nice. Good place to spend an...

The place is awesome, sadly the aircrafts are kept outside (which is good for pictures and more natural feel) and the weather and sun damage are visible. They have a wonderful exposition of WWI and WWII items. Most importantly, you can si the actual space capsule from the 60's that George Ivanov (first Bulgarian astronaut/cosmonaut) has flown in!!! The guys running the place are former parachutist and airforce staff, so they know their stuff. You can also se a cutaway of aircraft engines. Best of all, some of the propellers are turning so you can hear the pistons moving in the cylinders!!!
