Museum entrance

Aviation Museum

Since 2003 the Aviodrome National Aviation Museum is no longer in Schiphol, but in Lelystad due to lack of space. It caused a sensation when a dismantled KLM Jumbo Boeing 747-206BM (SUD) was transported over land and water from Amsterdam Airport to the museum.

In addition, a replica of a former terminal building of Schiphol Airport was built at the museum . The prototype comes from 1928.
