Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace du Bourget

The Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace (MAE) du Bourget is France's most important aeronautical museum. Founded in 1919, it is the oldest and one of the largest aviation museums in the world. Its spaces open to the public, located in the south-eastern part of Le Bourget airport, within the municipalities of Dugny and Le Bourget, north-east of Paris, occupy the Art Deco-style Le Bourget air terminal, built by Georges Labro for the 1937 Universal Exhibition, near the Bureau d'enquêtes et d'analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile (BEA).

A portion of the collections, which includes over 150 aircraft, is displayed in several halls, the most important of which is the “Grande galerie”, while less fragile aircraft are exhibited outdoors. The museum's reserves are primarily stored south-west of the airport, in the municipality of Dugny. In 2027, as part of the Grand Paris Express, the museum is expected to be served by the Le Bourget - Aéroport station on line 17 of the Paris Metro.

Access to the museum is subject to a fee, except on the first Sunday of each month.
