Norwegian Aviation Museum, National aviation museum in Bodø Municipality, Norway.
The Norwegian Aviation Museum spans 10,000 square meters across a building shaped like a propeller, containing military and civil aircraft collections.
King Harald V inaugurated the museum in 1994 following extensive debates between Gardermoen and Bodø communities about the national aviation museum location.
The exhibition We're Flying demonstrates the connection between Norway's extensive airport network and the population's relationship with aviation throughout generations.
The museum maintains regular hours from Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 16:00, while weekend visits are possible from 11:00 until 17:00.
The museum displays the U-2 spy plane known as The Black Lady, which conducted intelligence missions and brought international attention to Bodø.

Aerospace museums hold airplanes that have marked the history of flight, often displayed in large hangars or outside. You can see military aircraft used during world conflicts, commercial planes that carried the first passengers, as well as experimental prototypes and objects from the early days of flying. These collections tell the story of how flying has grown, from early attempts to space rockets. Important places include the national museum of the United States Air Force in Ohio, which shows hundreds of aircraft sorted by period, and the Royal Air Force Museum in London, which shares British aviation history. In Europe, the Museo del Aire in Madrid displays over 150 Spanish military planes, and the Caproni Museum in Trentino gathers dozens of Italian aircraft along with many technical documents. In Russia, the Central Museum of the Air Forces near Moscow keeps Soviet-era airplanes and engines. These museums help visitors understand how flying developed in each country and how it changed travel and moving around.
