Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum

Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum on Ford Island in Hawaii opened on December 7, 2006, after earlier efforts to create an aviation museum in the state. Developed as part of the rebirth of Ford Island, it focuses on the attack on Pearl Harbor, World War II, and military aviation in the Pacific. The museum occupies two historic hangars that survived the 1941 attack, where the buildings themselves, including bullet-damaged windows, form part of the experience. Its collections include notable wartime aircraft and artifacts, while its work extends to education and preservation, especially of Ford Island’s historic control tower and surrounding landscape within an active military base.
