The Canada Aviation Museum (French: Musée de l'aviation du Canada) is the national aviation history museum, located in Ottawa, Ontario.
The facilities comprise mainly of the permanent collection of the museum's vintage aircraft. The collection has several rare pieces of a Cold War era Avro Arrow fuselage, and a good selection of aircraft which are representative of Canada's role in World War II.
Also on site are interactive activities on the science of flight, films, demonstrations, a boutique, and guided tours.
A few of the tours take the visitors "behind the scenes" to see conservation and restoration work in progress, and pieces which are in storage.
The National Museum of Science and Technology was established as an autonomous Crown corporation on July 1, 1990. It now operates as the Canada Science and Technology Museum Corporation and is responsible for preserving and protecting Canada's scientific and technical heritage.
