The museum has a small book corner with many books about planes, flying, aviation history etc. Here there is something for everyone, so just sit down and browse and read!

For those interested, we have for sale various books about Fornebu and various magazines about aviation history.

Fornebu Car Museum is a museum for small and large (=adult!) children. The collection consists of a rolling selection of enthusiast cars from several eras. Here you can find older racing cars, classic Lamborghinis, Ferraris and American muscle cars. The focus is on cars that are capable of creating enthusiasm in both owners and spectators. In addition to cars on display, the museum has a collection of motorcycles, a model railroad, and a multitude of model airplanes! And drawings, models and backdrops.

The car museum is located at Gamle Fornebu Kultursenter (Old Fornebu Cultural Center), and has a common entrance with the Norwegian Vespa Scooter Museum, Hangar X (with glider simulator), Norwegian Racing Museum and Lamborghini Classic. The Scooter Museum displays 22 Vespas from the post-war era, and several other objects. Among other things prizes from scooter competitions in the 1960s and 1970s.
