History

edit

In 1958, Amalia Villa de la Tapia began acquiring artifacts related to the history of aviation in Bolivia and these formed the genesis of the Bolivian Air Force's Historical Collection. The historian Ramiro Molina Alanes took over her role as curator of the collection in 1985. Starting in 2001 it was housed in the air force headquarters.[1]

However, the museum was moved to a new location at El Alto International Airport in 2015.[1]
