HAL Aerospace Museum Bengaluru Reopens With Immersive Experience

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum in Bengaluru reopened on April 13, 2026 following an extensive modernisation project that introduces immersive installations and interactive aviation exhibits. The upgraded centre presents an experiential narrative of indigenous aerospace innovation and engineering. The relaunch was led by HAL chairperson and managing director Dr D K Sunil alongside senior directors in finance, operations, human resources and engineering and research and development.

The redesign replaces static displays with digital storytelling, kinetic art and holographic installations to engage diverse audiences. A life size replica of the Hindustan Turbo Fan Engine HTFE-25 and a three dimensional anamorphic runway feature iconic platforms such as Prachand and Tejas, while a holobox projects a holographic avatar named Tejasvi to narrate organisational milestones. The centrepiece is the Wings of Bharat multi sensory show staged in a hangar style theatre that highlights HAL contributions to national aerospace capability.

Exhibits include detailed three dimensional models of aircraft, helicopters, engines and space technologies together with a digital flipbook of archival material and a Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) cockpit simulator providing hands on experience. A special children engagement zone offers interactive aviation games, design builders, quizzes, art and colouring stations and an immersive space shuttle module to encourage STEM interest. Outdoor displays preserve aviation heritage with full scale aircraft such as the HF-24 Marut, Ajeet, Lakshya pilotless target aircraft, Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, Dhruv and legacy fighters.

The museum is located on Old Airport Road in Marathahalli, Bengaluru and will be open all days from nine in the morning to four thirty in the afternoon. Visitor amenities include a cafeteria and a souvenir shop to support family visits and educational outings. The revamp aims to broaden public engagement with aerospace history while showcasing HAL's engineering achievements and future ambitions for indigenous capability.
