Antoine de Saint-Exupery Museum, Aviation museum in Tarfaya, Morocco.

The museum exhibits photographs, documents, and models illustrating the early days of commercial aviation and airmail service between Toulouse and Saint Louis, Senegal.

The museum, opened in 2004, commemorates Antoine de Saint-Exupery's role as station manager in Tarfaya from 1927 to 1929 during his Aeropostale service.

The exhibits detail the connection between Saint-Exupery's experiences in the Moroccan desert and the creation of his literary works Courrier Sud and Le Petit Prince.

Located near the former airstrip and 30 meters from the beach, visitors can explore the museum's collection and discuss with volunteers over traditional tea.

The museum features scale models of the Breguet 14 aircraft, similar to the green biplane monument at the north end of Tarfaya's beach.
