As a result of a reorganisation of the Air Museum, a new one opened to the public in Sintra’s Air Base Nº 1 at the end of January 2010, allowing us to continue to fulfil our commitment to preserving, restoring and exhibiting our national aviation heritage. Spread over three different sites - Sintra, Alverca and Ovar - we had the support of Sintra’s Town Hall and ANA and received the TAP and ANA collections thereby enriching an existing collection of over 100 aircraft and 9,500 inventoried objects.

The Air Force and its museum have now made public an exhibition that boasts some rarely seen objects which have recently been restored as well as new additions to the collection.

You are welcome to visit the new Air Museum, the only one to safeguard Portugal’s aviation legacy.
