We present a visiting trail through the new exhibition at the Polish Aviation Museum, which takes you back to the times when flying was an art requiring extraordinary courage and perseverance, and every launch of a glider or small civilian aircraft brought a thrill of uncertainty and fascination.
The trail focuses primarily on gliders – a symbol of Polish pioneering in the world of aviation – as well as several exceptional civilian machines, including amateur, sport, and air ambulance aircraft. They show how diverse the paths of aviation were in Poland: from the passion of young glider pilots learning to “feel the air,” through machines built in a home (and we mean literally!) workshop, to the practical use of aircraft in rescue and sport.
Thanks to the captivating narrative layer of the new exhibition, visitors will experience the atmosphere of the times when the first Polish designs were created, all the way to the not-so-distant past – among the aircraft on display you will find, among others, a replica of Czeslaw Tanski’s hang glider, the WWS-1 “Wrona” and SZD-9 “Bocian” gliders, RWD aircraft, the “Kukulka” built in an apartment, and the BZ-1 Gil helicopter.
The duration of this visiting trail is 90 minutes.
This trail is a story of power and technology that changed the face of wars. It will appeal to military history enthusiasts and lovers of combat aircraft, as well as those who want to explore the military dimension of aviation for the first time. It is also a great choice for people who want to see the most important machines associated with Polish and world military heritage in a short time.
As part of this trail, we focus on machines that played a key role in the pioneering period of World War I, the battles of World War II, and the Cold War era. Among the exhibits, you will find unique designs that often cannot be seen anywhere else – from legendary fighters to bombers and combat helicopters. Each machine is a separate story – about pilots, battles, and technological breakthroughs. Among them are such famous aircraft as the World War I Sopwith Camel, the F-4 Phantom fighter, and the jewel of our collection – the only surviving Polish P.11c fighter.
The duration of this visiting trail is 90 minutes.
We invite you to take advantage of a unique form of visiting – a guided electric cart ride. This is a comfortable and attractive way to explore the exhibition and the museum grounds, allowing you to fully appreciate its history and architecture. The electric cart tour is an excellent option for families with children, elderly visitors, and those with limited mobility.
There are 2 vehicles available, each seating 7 passengers. Rides take place upon prior confirmation of availability and reservation. The price does not include admission to the museum; it covers only transport and the guide’s services.
The duration of this visiting trail is 90 minutes.
