12. HAL Aerospace Museum

HAL Aerospace Museum is one of the major public attractions of Bangalore. Inaugurated in 2001 at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited premises, the museum was established to educate the public about everything the journey of HAL, one of Asia's largest and most important aeronautical companies, had to offer - be it historical, scientific or academic. The museum proudly boasts of the giant leaps Indian aviation has taken, both commercially and in terms of defence, giving the visitors an all-inclusive aerospace experience in the most effective environment possible.

The museum ensures that the visitors get the best possible insight into the aeronautical history of HAL and of India - its experiments, achievements and possibilities; at the same time, they also get to glimpse some of the most powerful possessions of the Indian Air Force. Such an exhibit is an enchanting experience not only for aviation enthusiasts but also for the layman.

At present, the HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum together form South Asia's most massive aeronautical complex in terms of production, maintenance, development and exhibition of fighter and commercial aircrafts, helicopters and all their engineering parts and accessories.
