Antoine de Saint-Exupery Museum, Aviation museum in Tarfaya, Morocco.
The Antoine de Saint-Exupery Museum houses photographs, documents, and aircraft models that tell the story of early airmail services and commercial flight in the 1920s. The collection centers on the Toulouse-to-Senegal postal route and the people who made such ambitious operations possible.
The museum opened in 2004 to honor Saint-Exupery's years as station manager from 1927 to 1929 while working for Aeropostale. His tenure marked a crucial period in the development of international airmail and modern aviation operations.
The exhibits show how Saint-Exupery's experiences managing the desert station shaped the stories and themes found in his later writings. Visitors can see the connection between his daily work here and the literary works that made him famous.
The museum sits close to the former airstrip and just steps from the beach, making it easy to locate and visit. You can browse the exhibits at your own pace and chat with the staff who are happy to discuss what is on display.
The museum displays scale models of the Breguet 14 aircraft, matching the green biplane monument visible at the north end of Tarfaya's beach. This connection between indoor display and outdoor landmark offers a complete picture of the area's aviation heritage.
