  • ABOUT THE AVIATION MUSEUM OF KENTUCKY, INC.®

    As the state's largest museum dedicated to aviation, the Aviation Museum of Kentucky (AMK) houses important and significant exhibits that highlight the state's role in aviation and aerospace history. The museum serves as an important educational resource, inspiring interest in aviation and aerospace for Kentucky students through hands-on experiences, camps, and programs. From humble beginnings as the Kentucky Aviation History Roundtable in 1978, the museum has grown significantly at the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington. It is now a unique tourism destination celebrating our state's contributions to aviation and inspiring people to pursue educational and training programs in the aviation/aerospace industry. The Museum strives to uphold its mission to serve the Commonwealth with dynamic aerospace education programs; to promote the state's aviation industry; and to serve as Kentucky's focal point for the presentation of aviation history.
