Museo de Aeronáutica y Astronáutica, Aviation and astronautics museum in Cuatro Vientos, Spain.
The Museo de Aeronáutica y Astronáutica is an aviation museum located at a former military airfield near Madrid with multiple large hangars and outdoor display areas. More than 200 aircraft from different periods are scattered across the grounds, ranging from early motorized planes to modern fighter jets.
The museum was founded in 1979 and officially opened in 1981, preserving the legacy of Spain's first airfield. It documents the growth of Spanish aviation from its earliest days to the present.
The collection reflects how aviation shaped Spanish ideas about progress and exploration. The objects on display tell stories of people who pushed boundaries and opened new possibilities.
The museum is accessible from Tuesday through Sunday and provides wheelchair access for visitors with mobility needs. Since the collection is spread across multiple hangars and outdoor areas, plan to spend several hours and wear comfortable walking shoes.
The collection includes the Vilanova Acedo aircraft, one of the oldest preserved aircraft in Spain. This plane offers a direct look at the beginnings of powered flight in the years before World War I.
