Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa is the country’s national museum of aviation history and a major centre for preserving and presenting Canadian aerospace heritage. Founded in 1964 as the National Aeronautical Collection at RCAF Station Rockcliffe, it brought together collections focused on early aviation, bush flying, military aircraft, and Royal Canadian Air Force service. Renamed the National Aviation Museum in 1982, it later expanded its mission to include space and adopted its current name in 2010. Its holdings are especially strong in bushplanes, military aircraft flown by Canadians, Avro Arrow remnants, and Canadarm 201 from Space Shuttle Endeavour.
