Fuelling new visions

»My hope is for the Museum, with a stimulating and constantly growing collection, to become a centre for cultural encounter and exchange – a meeting place for all who wish to learn from the past and to embrace the opportunities and demands of the future.«

Silvius Dornier

Silvius Dornier, the son of Claude Dornier, is the founder of the Dornier Aerospace Foundation and the initiator of the Museum. By presenting the progression of technical development and achievement in historical context, the exhibition brings a momentous century of aeronautics to life. The exhibition also provides a lively encounter with far-sighted entrepreneurial vision and creative pioneering spirit. The Dornier Museum combines the past and the future, experience and creativity, science and life.
