Qantas Founders Outback Museum, Aviation museum in Longreach, Australia
The Qantas Founders Museum displays numerous aircraft including a Boeing 747, Boeing 707, and Consolidated PBY-6A Catalina in dedicated exhibition spaces.
The museum opened in 1996 inside the heritage-listed Qantas Hangar from 1922, where the Australian airline began its operations in Queensland.
The museum recognizes the Iningai people as traditional land custodians and presents the development of civil aviation in the Australian outback.
The facility operates daily with extended hours from April to October, offering guided tours of aircraft interiors and access to three art galleries.
Visitors can examine a Boeing 747 Rolls Royce jet engine from the inside, making it one of only two locations worldwide offering this experience.
