The Museum
About the Canadian Air & Space Museum
The Canadian Air & Space Museum (formerly the Toronto Aerospace Museum) was founded in 1997 and is an important year-round attraction within Downsview Park, Canada’s first National Urban Park which is managed by the federal government. The Canadian Air & Space Museum is a Registered Non-Profit Organization. The Museum’s Charity Registration number is BN 87605 3968 RR0001.
Housed in what is considered by many to be the home of the Canadian aviation industry's history, the Canadian Air & Space Museum celebrates the aerospace accomplishments of Canadians and the long association of Canada with aeronautical innovation, aircraft manufacturing, military aviation, air transport and the pure joy of flight.
While the Canadian Air & Space Museum prides itself on telling the distinctly Canadian stories of aerospace science and technology, it equally tells the stories of the people connected to these innovations. In doing so, the Museum is not only chronicling their achievements, it is honouring these larger than life pioneers.
