About Musée Aeroscopia
Aeroscopia is the aeronautical museum of the Toulouse region and is located in Blagnac, next to the airport and the Airbus assembly lines. It opened in 2015 and tells the story of commercial, military and experimental aviation, with a strong connection to the local industry.
There are over 40 aircraft, including two Concordes, an Airbus A300 and the Super Guppy, an unusually shaped cargo plane that transported large aircraft parts. On some models you can enter the cockpit.
The museum is also the meeting point for guided tours of the Airbus facilities. The routes, about 1h30 long, lead to viewing platforms over the final assembly lines of the A321 or A350 and require advance reservation.
For the Airbus visit, non-EU foreigners must present their original passport, and cameras and mobile phones for photography cannot be used in the factories. Visits take place on specific days of the week, with more dates during French school holidays.
