The Museum of Aviation Technology is an open-air facility located at the Borovaya Airfield near Minsk. It features a curated collection of Soviet-era civil and military aircraft, including various helicopters and airplanes displayed on a tarmac. The museum is integrated with the Minsk Aero Club, allowing visitors to view both static historical exhibits and active flight operations. Guests can explore the cockpits and interiors of several decommissioned aircraft. The site serves as a educational space for aviation history and aerodynamics within Belarus. It is uniquely positioned as a functional airfield rather than a strictly indoor exhibition space.

Dress for outdoor conditions as the entire exhibition is in an open field.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe footwear suitable for walking on tarmac and climbing aircraft ladders.
Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the airfield is exposed to significant wind.
Do not wander beyond the marked exhibition perimeter, as the adjacent airfield is an active restricted area.
Operations are heavily dependent on weather conditions; the museum may be inaccessible or closed during extreme winter snowstorms.
Do not touch or operate buttons inside the aircraft cabins; strictly follow safety barriers near active runway zones.
