Colombian Aerospace Museum

Colombian Aerospace Museum, Aviation museum in Tocancipá, Colombia

The Colombian Aerospace Museum is a collection of aircraft and aerospace equipment located north of Bogotá, with exhibition halls dedicated to military jets, civilian planes, and related technology. The facilities display the evolution of flight from early aircraft to modern designs across multiple buildings.

Founded in 1968, the museum first occupied a site at Techo International Airport. In 1972 it moved to the Military Transport Air Command at El Dorado International Airport, and in 1999 it took over that command's newly refurbished offices, opening to the public in April 2001. It moved again across from Jaime Duque Park, opening there in November 2017.

The museum displays aircraft that served in the Colombian military and early commercial airlines, telling the story of people who built aviation in the country. Visitors see machines that became part of the nation's history and understand how flight shaped the country's development.

The museum is located about 40 kilometers northeast of Bogotá and sits near Jaime Duque Park, making it easy to combine the visit with other activities in the area. Weekday visits tend to be less crowded than weekend trips.

The museum opened at its current site across from Jaime Duque Park in November 2017, after nearly five decades of moves that began at Techo International Airport in 1968 and passed through El Dorado International Airport from 1972. The 1999 takeover of refurbished Military Transport Air Command offices preceded the April 2001 public opening.
