★★★★★Edited 2 months agoWhat an absolutely amazing little museum. Plenty to see, very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Lot's of really great WW2 aviation history, to see and read about. We need places like this to keep the history of aviation alive. I would recommend you visit this place. 10/10
Andrew Holden
★★★★★4 months agoMalta Aviation Museum is well worth a visit if you're in the Mosta/Rabat/Mdina area. It is easily accessible by public transport and really close to the bus stop. The planes and aviation artifacts on display are really interesting and you can get up close. The restoration of the planes and associated vehicles is of an exceptionally high standard. This is a great place to visit and I highly recommend it.
