THE FUTURE IS HERE!

We have so much waited for this day! On Saturday 21st May the air is filled with joy, when the gates open for Children´s Day. Our theme for the event is FUTURE.

The future is not yet set, and you have the power to influence how it will turn out. Our future arises from understanding history, imagining different possibilities, and experimenting. It arises from wonder and innovation. On the Children’s Day 2022 at the Aviation Museum, you will meet various futures in aviation, tourism, and technology. Get to know the electric plane, travel virtually and try out flight simulators. The future of travel is examined in a fun workshop, and the quirky climate is understood through the means of theater. Also included are the Children’s Day classics, ie a model workshop and presentations of various exhibition objects.
