About National Museum of Flight Behind the Scenes Tours
National Museums Scotland has one of the most comprehensive collections of aircraft engines anywhere in the world, some of which are in the Object Store at the National Museum of Flight, not normally open to the public.
Join Aviation Curator Ian Brown for one of our regular guided tours of the museum’s Object Store. Explore some of the collections not normally on public view and discover the fascinating stories behind them.
Spaces are limited to 10 people on each tour
These tours involve a short 5-10 minute walk from the museum shop to the Object Store so please dress for the weather
Inside the building, the tour involves standing and walking, and there is a short ramp at one point
The tour should not be physically demanding, but does require some mobility, although wheelchair access is possible
For larger group enquiries, please contact Linda De Costa on 0131 247 4238
Please meet at the Museum Shop at 12:00
