Museu Aeroespacial, Aerospace museum in Realengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The national aviation museum exhibits over 100 military and civilian aircraft, including helicopters, engines, weapons, and technical equipment across multiple hangars.

The museum opened in 1976 at Afonsos Air Force Base, following President Emilio Garrastazu Medici's 1973 decree establishing the institution's foundation.

The collection includes artifacts from Santos Dumont, Brazilian aviation pioneers, and historical documents that shaped the national aerospace development.

Located at Avenida Marechal Fontenelle 2000, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday and provides guided tours in Portuguese for educational groups.

Several aircraft in the collection maintain their flight capabilities, including rare models like the Beechcraft D17S Staggerwing and Douglas C-47 Skytrain.
