Wings of a Dream Museum

Wings of a Dream Museum, Aviation museum in Itu, Brazil

Wings of a Dream Museum is an aviation museum in Itu displaying over 100 aircraft across a sprawling facility. The collection ranges from early Brazilian designs to military fighters and commercial aircraft spanning multiple decades.

In 1996, after restoring a Cessna 195, brothers Rolim Adolfo Amaro and João Francisco Amaro began buying classic aircraft, leading to the creation of the Museu Asas de um Sonho under the non-profit Eductam. It opened experimentally on 11 November 2006 at Água Vermelha, São Carlos, with 32 aircraft, as part of the city's 150th-anniversary celebrations. Closed in 2016, it reopened on 10 August 2024 in Itu's historic centre, at the Centro Cultural Fábrica São Pedro.

The museum's name, Wings of a Dream, comes from the nickname of founder Rolim Adolfo Amaro, who began the collection with a restored Cessna 195. Its restoration workshops built aircraft themselves, including a Roloff-Unger RLU-1 Breezy Pusher and a full-size Blériot XI replica donated in 2011. A replica of the D.S. De Lavaud, flown by Dimitri Sensaud de Lavaud in 1910 in the first flight in Latin America, is also displayed.

The museum reopened in August 2024 inside the Centro Cultural Fábrica São Pedro in Itu's historic centre, at Rua Padre Bartolomeu Tadei, 9, Vila São Francisco. The transfer of the full collection is not yet complete, so not all aircraft are on show. The first exhibition includes replicas of the 14-Bis and Demoiselle and personal items of Santos Dumont.

The facility houses the last surviving Savoia-Marchetti S.55, a rare Italian flying boat called Jahú. Visitors can also see one of the few remaining Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter aircraft that still exists.
