Opening indoor spaces from 19 May 2021
IWM Duxford is Europe’s largest air museum. Walk through the same hangars and buildings as those who served at RAF Duxford and get up close to over a century of aviation.
In our new Ops Block exhibition and Battle of Britain hangar, learn about the RAF's aerial defence network, get up close to a Spitfire, Hurricane and crash-landed Messerschmitt.

©IWMIWM Duxford stands apart from other aviation museums because the site is an exhibit itself. It played a central role in some of the most dramatic days in 20th century history - serving as a base for many of the Spitfire and Hurricane pilots during the Second World War.
-
©IWMInside every hangar and exhibition - and outside them too - there are hundreds of large aircraft, vehicles, boats and more. Walk around them, inside them, above and below them and get the chance to see aircraft take off from our historic runway.
-
Uncover hundreds of personal stories of the many lives impacted by conflict. There are stories behind every object on display at IWM Duxford - every aircraft, tank and gun, every medal photograph and flying jacket.
