About the MAM
Preserving our aviation heritage for our future generations
Our Land
The Montreal Aviation Museum occupies unceeded territory that originally served as a site of meeting and exchange for the Indigenous peoples that lived here, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations. They are the stewards of this land, as well as of the surrounding land and waters. We recognize their rights, the destructive forces of colonialism that took this land from them, our role as settlers on this land, and the responsibility we have as a community in resisting colonialism and its impact today.
Our Beginnings
The Montreal Aviation Museum was founded in 1998 by Godfrey Stewart Pasmore, an aviation enthusiast. It is run by a dedicated team of passionate volunteers who wish to continue the legacy.
Our Ethos
Mission
Our mission is to educate the public on the invaluable contributions Quebec and Canada brought to the field of aviation and to inspire future generations to value, protect and promote this heritage.
Vision
Our vision is to be the pre-eminent aviation museum and aircraft restoration centre in the province of Quebec. Our aim is to be the primary partner in aviation heritage preservation for scholars, government entities and the aerospace community.
