Aeroscopia – a French aerospace museum

Aeroscopia is a French aerospace museum, located at the north-western edge of Toulouse, in the commune of Blagnac. It was opened on 14 January 2015.

The exhibition hall is 100 m long, 72 m wide and 23 m high, for an area of 8,000 m2. The metal frame consists of a three-dimensional steel tube trellis weighing 300 t manufactured by the Spanish group Lanik.

The cover is provided by zinc sheets crimped together. Its structure has been planned to receive a possible extension when funding allows it. The North tarmac, the new building and the visit of the A380 have been open to the public since March 14, 2020.
