Oleg Antonov State Aviation Museum, Aviation museum in Zhulyany district, Kyiv, Ukraine
The Oleg Antonov Museum is an aviation exhibition in Kyiv that displays over 80 aircraft across a large outdoor site. The collection includes fighter jets, passenger planes, and experimental prototypes from different decades of Soviet and Ukrainian aviation.
The museum was founded in 2003 to mark a century of aviation history, starting with 30 aircraft from a former flight training base. Over time, donations and acquisitions added valuable Soviet and Ukrainian examples to the collection.
The museum displays aircraft designed and built by Ukrainian engineers, telling the story of the country's role in aviation development. The collection shows how important this industry has been to the nation's technical and economic past.
The museum is located on Medova Street and welcomes visitors year-round with guided tours available in several languages. The outdoor site requires comfortable shoes and protection from sun and weather.
The museum displays the experimental Vyrib 181, a one-of-a-kind aircraft from Soviet design studies that never went into production. Equally notable is the reconnaissance aircraft An-71, which also exists only as a prototype.
