Explore India's Aviation History at HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

Established in 2001, the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum is India’s first institution of its kind. It boasts a vast array of aircraft models, photographs, fighter planes, and helicopters. Located approximately 10 kilometers from Bengaluru City Railway Station, on HAL Airport Road, this facility spans 4 acres. The museum comprises two primary halls: the first features photographic displays chronicling the evolution of aviation in India, while the second showcases motorized cross-sections of aero-engine models, emphasizing their functions. Noteworthy exhibits include real-time engines such as the Garret (Dornier), Adour (Jaguar), and Orpheus (Kiran). Additional attractions include aircraft simulators, a mock air traffic control tower, an aero modeling club, and a well-stocked reference library, all established by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
