The Swedish Air Force Museum is a modern technical and cultural history museum tracing the development of Swedish military aviation.
The museum has a unique collection of aircraft, from pioneers of the early 20th century to the present day JAS 39 Gripen.
The exhibition “Airborne – The Swedish Airforce Emerges”, is showcasing the development of Swedish military aviation during the first half of the 20th century. Join us on a journey through one of the most dangerous eras in Swedish aviation history, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet heroes and aviation pioneers, witness unique aircraft, and engage with dramatic stories about how the dream of defending Sweden from the air became a reality.
Experience the thought-provoking exhibition “Expecting the worst – Sweden during the Cold War.” Follow the development of the welfare state in nostalgic home settings. Make sure you have plenty of time to visit the museum cellar where you can explore the dramatic history of the Swedish reconnaissance plane that was shot down, in the exhibition “Acts of secrecy – the DC-3 that disappeared”.
