Muzeum Obrony Przeciwlotniczej w Koszaline, Military museum in Koszalin, Poland
The Muzeum Obrony Przeciwlotniczej w Koszalinie is a military museum in Koszalin, northern Poland, dedicated to the history of Polish anti-aircraft defense. The collection spans indoor displays of weapons, uniforms, radio equipment, and missile systems, as well as outdoor aircraft that visitors can walk around and, in some cases, board.
The museum was founded in 1976 as part of the Air Force Training Center in Koszalin. Over time, its collection grew through donations and transfers from other military institutions and private collectors.
The museum sits on an active military base, which gives the visit an unusual setting that most city museums do not offer. Families and history enthusiasts often come here to see how Polish air defense developed over the decades.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and on Tuesdays entry to the permanent exhibitions is free, making it a good day to visit without spending money. The outdoor aircraft can be walked around at any time during opening hours, and the Yak-40 can be entered inside.
A Yak-40 passenger aircraft that flew Poland's top officials until the early 2010s is now parked on the museum grounds, and visitors can step inside to see the cabin. This is one of the few places in the country where the public can board a plane of this type.
