Museum of Aviation
About

The Museum of Aviation in Belgrade, located beside Nikola Tesla Airport, is one of Europe’s most distinctive aviation museums. Housed in a striking glass-and-concrete structure designed by Ivan Štraus, the museum showcases over 200 aircraft spanning more than a century of flight. From early wooden gliders to Cold War jets and the remains of NATO aircraft downed in 1999, the collection reflects both global aviation milestones and Serbia’s unique aeronautical history. Highlights include the only surviving Fiat G.50 fighter, a Messerschmitt Bf 109, and domestic designs like the Galeb and Orao jets. Visitors can explore a vast archive of engines, radars, rockets, and over 200,000 photographs, while a Boeing 737 simulator offers an immersive experience of modern flight. Founded in 1957, the museum continues to preserve and present the legacy of flight with educational programs and rotating exhibitions, making it a compelling destination for aviation enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.

Location

The Museum of Aviation in Belgrade, also known as the Aeronautical Museum, is located adjacent to Nikola Tesla Airport in the Surčin area of the city. Founded in 1957, the current modernist building was opened to the public in 1989, designed by architect Ivan Štraus. The museum boasts over 200 aircraft, including military and civilian planes, helicopters, and rare historical models like the Fiat G.50 and parts of downed NATO aircraft from the 1999 conflict. This location is just outside central Belgrade, near the airport, making it a practical stop for travelers entering or leaving the city. Visitors will find the museum surrounded by airport infrastructure rather than typical city attractions, so a vehicle or taxi is recommended. The museum offers a unique blend of aviation history and impressive architecture, providing a compelling visit for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
