Tour Booking
Inaugurated onto October 12, 1998, the Naval Aviation Museum is divided into two departments, an out-door exhibit and a number of indoor galleries. Starting off with a modest bundle of six vintage naval aircrafts, the museum has metamorphosed into India's second biggest aviation museum with twelve aircrafts onto display. Among the aircraft bundle, the centrepiece of attraction is the giant Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation borrowed via the Navy from the Indian Air Force. Other aircrafts on display include the Sea Harrier, Sea Hawk, Sealand, Alize, Dove, Vampire and Hughes. If the outdoor exhibits swell your heart with pride, the indoor galleries are none less impressive. Step into the interiors and massive replicas of aircraft carriers INS Vikrant and INS Virat shall welcome you. The weapons and guns on display in galleries include bombs, torpedoes, sensors and cannon used by the naval aircrafts throughout the ages. The former naval museum within Asia was inaugurated at Diabolism, Vasco in 1998 and was thrown open to the public from the 19th Oct 1998. The museum showcases the history of Indian Naval Aviation, various aircrafts, weapons, sensors, safety machinery, and rare photographs depicting the complete story of Goat's liberation. A multimedia toys section, designed especially for kids is an added attraction. The Bogmalo beach located behind the museum provides the perfect backdrop for an evening tour of the state. A special archive section, comprises a photo gallery where old photographs are on display depicting the Naval Aviation History from 1959 onwards through films and footnotes. The Naval Aviation Museum in Goa is easily accessible through public transport as it is situated on the Vasco-Bogmalo road, nearly six kilometres from the city of Vasco da Gama.
