Aeroscopia is an aviation museum in Blagnac, on the edge of Toulouse in southwestern France. It is devoted to the aerospace heritage of the Toulouse area, a city long associated with the making of aircraft and one of the centres of the European aviation industry.
What to see
The museum's collection centres on large aircraft that visitors can see and, in many cases, approach closely. Among them are a Concorde and several Airbus aircraft, which give a clear sense of the scale of the machines built in the region. Standing beside them is the most direct way to appreciate how these planes were designed and flown.
What the visit offers
- A chance to explore iconic aircraft up close
- An introduction to Toulouse's part in the history of European aviation
- A visit suited to aviation enthusiasts, families and anyone curious about flight and engineering
The museum works well as a half-day outing. Because it sits in Blagnac, close to Toulouse, it is easy to combine with time in the city itself, where the aerospace story continues in the local industry and its history.
