History

The museum dates back to the Aero Clube de Portugal in 1909 and was created in 1968 in a former Military Aviation hangar at Alverca. Opening for the first time to the public on July 1, 1971.

In 2009, due to the growing of the collection, a new site at the Sintra Air Base complex was created for the museum and part of the collection was transferred there.
