Make 2025 the year to visit
The Royal Air Force Museum celebrates and commemorates the story of the Royal Air Force.
We have launched, at our London site, 3 new innovative galleries that explore the first 100 years of the RAF, its role today and invite visitors to imagine its future contribution and technology.
The rest of our site including our multi award-winning First World War in the Air Galleries, Historic Hangars and Bomber Command Hall are also open now – offering a great day out to all our visitors.
Explore the RAF’s story through our programme of events, lectures and temporary exhibitions throughout the year. Our staff and volunteers are here to help you have a great time.
We look forward to welcoming you.
