Great moments in aeronautics.|The fascination of flying.

»Can we allow everything the Dornier company has achieved over nearly a century, and all the projects on which so many people worked so hard, to simply vanish?«

Silvius Dornier, initiator of the museum

Dornier’s heritage can be seen in visions for the future. As they did in the past, entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and foresight drive scientific progress today as well. The exhibition, therefore, does far more than preserve and document the Dornier company’s achievements. It brings a century of exciting aeronautic history into vivid focus, it features extraordinary architecture and unusual exhibits, and it provides a stimulating array of events and special tours.

Experience the history of aviation and aeronautics from your own individual perspective. Find out more about the political, economic and social contexts. Discover Dornier’s major innovations in the fields of environmental, defence and medical engineering. The fascination of flying: Numerous historical aircraft – including legendary classics like the Do 27, the Do Merkur and the Do 31 vertical take-off craft – can be viewed up close. Journey into space: Parts of an original »space lab« and a walk-through solar system enable visitors to nearly reach the stars.
