Aeroscopia is an aerospace museum, located in Haute-Garonne department at the north-western edge of Toulouse (OccitaniaFrance), 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.
