aeroscopia, a local museum!
Christmas holidays at the Aeroscopia museum (20 December to 4 January)
To round off our 10th year in style, we are highlighting the many facets that make up the DNA of the aeroscopia museum. Here, we happily cultivate our childlike spirit, we focus on innovation, and above all... boudu*, we are proudly rooted in our Toulouse region!
(“boudu” is a typical Toulouse expression of surprise or emphasis.)*
During the Christmas holidays, the museum is transformed into a playground for young and old alike: the perfect time to explore the history of aviation. Visitors are invited to get up close to legendary aircraft such as the A300B and the impressive A380, the giant of the skies.
And that's not all: we are unveiling a new, original exhibition dedicated to the impact of the aeronautical industry on the city. It's a fun way to understand how Toulouse has been transformed by and with aeronautics.
See you at the aeroscopia museum ✈️
20 December to 4 January 2025 from 9.30am to 7pm!
