Ulyanovsk Aircraft Museum

The Ulyanovsk Aircraft Museum is an aviation museum situated at Baratayevka Airport with a collection exceeding 9,000 items documenting civil aviation development. It houses 41 retired Soviet aircraft distributed across multiple exhibition halls.

The facility was established in 1983 on the grounds of Ulyanovsk Higher Civil Aviation School. It gained People's Museum status in 1989, becoming a significant institution for preserving Soviet aviation history.

The museum documents the evolution of Soviet civil aviation through photographs, technical displays, and preserved aircraft spanning different eras. Visitors can trace how the aviation industry developed across Russia through these carefully arranged examples.

The museum is situated on Aviacionnaya Street and welcomes visitors during daytime hours on weekdays and weekends. Guided tours are available to help visitors navigate the extensive collections.

The collection includes flight simulators that were once used for pilot training, offering a rare glimpse into how Soviet aviators prepared for flight. Additionally, decommissioned aircraft were located and brought to the museum by search teams working across various regions of Russia.
