From Saturday, December 17, 2022, discover the challenges of the pioneers of aviation yesterday and today with the new temporary exhibition dedicated to Pierre Georges Latécoère, initiator of the great history of aviation in Toulouse.
Around an immersive scenography, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the workshops of the interwar period and follow the path of this visionary. Observe many historical objects and original mediation devices, to better know the man who upset the airline industry and the future of Toulouse. Discover iconic aircrafts such as the Laté 28, the Laté 300 or the Laté 521 seaplane.
A tactile model with braille cartel of Laté 28 is available in the exhibition.
You can also find in the temporary exhibition “Pierre Georges Latécoère – L’avenir a des ailes” the map of La Ligne in relief, as well as a relief of the Salmson 2A2 at the foot of the plane.
