Sywell Aviation Museum charts the history of the Art Deco Sywell Aerodrome from 1928 to the Second World War to now - and aviation in Northamptonshire as a whole.
- Displays include uniforms, photographs, models, wartime kitchen, bomb train, equipment displays, aviation archaeology and more.

- The museum building is made of three Second World War Nissen huts linked together.
- Full disabled access, free parking, aircraft viewing area, on site bar, hotel, restaurant and cafe.
- This was Northamptonshire Musuem of the year in 2007.
