Description
The Ukraine State Aviation Museum is an aviation museum near Kyiv International Airport, displaying over 90 aircraft, helicopters, and drones across about 20 hectares. The collection includes a dedicated section with more than twenty aircraft engines available for technical examination.
History
The museum opened on September 30, 2003, to mark 100 years of aviation worldwide and 80 years of Ukrainian aviation history. The collection documents the development of aircraft technology in Ukraine from its early beginnings to modern times.
Culture
The museum preserves aircraft that shaped Ukrainian aviation during the Soviet era, particularly designs from local bureaus like Antonov. Visitors can see how these machines reflect the nation's engineering heritage and technical capabilities.

It is best to plan your visit on days with good weather, as many exhibits are outdoors and you will walk across the grounds. Comfortable shoes are important since the paths between sections can be quite long.
