Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, Blenheim

Introduction

Presenting one of the world’s largest displays of World War I aircraft, the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is home to a superb display of New Zealand’s aviation history.

Human stories from the Great War are brought to life in theatrical treatments that are both innovative and visually stunning. Captivating scenes depict the aircraft in context, some recreating actual incidents that allow visitors to understand the power and vulnerability of these aircraft when they served out in the field, as well as the unimaginable bravery of the men flying them.

The rare memorabilia is worthy of any national collection and ranges from beautifully crafted ‘trench art’, through to personal items belonging to the famous Red Baron himself. Located in Marlborough just minutes from the centre of Blenheim, the Museum is open daily and promises an enthralling experience for the aviation and non-aviation enthusiast alike.
