Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, Aviation museum in St. James-Assiniboia, Winnipeg, Canada
The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada occupies a modern 85,000-square-foot building, displaying 22 aircraft across 14 galleries with numerous aviation artifacts.
Founded in 1974, the museum relocated in 2022 to a new facility at 2088 Wellington Avenue, replacing its original Trans-Canada Air Lines hangar location.
The exhibition spaces recognize Indigenous peoples' contributions to northern Manitoba aviation through dedicated displays and educational programs.
The museum maintains regular visiting hours, offers guided tours, and provides rental spaces for meetings, celebrations, and corporate functions.
The collection includes the first helicopter built in Canada by the Froebe brothers and a replica of the Avro Canada Avrocar experimental aircraft.
