The Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków is located on the grounds of the former Rakowice-Czyżyny airfield, collecting exhibits related to the history of aviation development. The number of currently displayed aircraft exceeds 200. Most exhibits are decommissioned models donated by the military or state authorities. Some exhibits were acquired through exchanges with other museums worldwide. The most important exhibits include 25 aircraft from Hermann Göring’s collection and the world’s only surviving P.11c. The museum publishes its own publications and organizes educational events. It also participates in and organizes conferences dedicated to aviation history and museology. The museum has a library with over 30,000 items.

Every year, the Małopolska Aviation Picnics are held on the museum grounds. The skies over Kraków typically feature displays of training, transport, and combat aircraft, gliders, helicopters, and paragliders. There are also aerobatic performances by various types of air force aircraft, piloted by multiple world champions.
