Aviation exhibition

In a secluded place beyond Stockholm Arlanda Airport, there is a well-hidden treasure located in an unassuming building that most closely resembles a hangar. It is no coincidence that the building resembles a hangar because the treasure is a collection of aviation history from the last one hundred years.

"Even though the main target group is aviation enthusiasts, the general public is obviously invited to see the interesting history of aviation that can be followed in our collection," says Bertil Boberg, one of the driving forces keeping the collection alive.

"All restorations and displays are done on a voluntary basis with the backing of Swedavia (the State enterprise that runs Sweden's main airports) and the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology so we don't really have any resources to have it open to the public, but because we are still here working on restorations, we want to make the collection available to anyone who is interested," says Mr Boberg.

Opening hours

The exhibition is closed from December 18, 2009, to January 7, 2010, but after that you can visit the collection on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10.00 a.m. - 3.00 p.m. and the first Saturday of every month that is not a holiday.

You can experience the comfort of a plane from the 1930s and climb on board for a trip back in time to when aviation was something revolutionary. Everything from advanced home-made models to meticulously restored commercial aviation equipment is presented in the exhibition through a dozen aircraft engines and a number of flight simulators.
