Aviation Museums in the United States If your favorite aviation museum is not listed correctly, please contact the Curator of the Planetarium at the Lafayette Science Museum so the listing can be added or corrected! Don’t forget to check a museum’s hours before visiting—some are open only part-time. Checking ahead for times and requirements can be particularly important for museums on active military bases.
