The creation of the museum was led by the head of the department of educational institutions of the USSR Civil Aviation Administration Darymov Yuri Petrovich and the deputy head of the center of the CA CMEA Vladimir Pavlovich Deldyuzhov.[4]

In 1983, the museum was opened on the territory of the Ulyanovsk Higher Civil Aviation School.[5]

In 1989, the museum was awarded the honorary title of "People's Museum".[6][7]

In 1999, the museum became a member of the Association of Technical Museums of the International Union ICOM.[8]

On 14 January 2016, an exposition dedicated to Air Chief Marshal Boris Pavlovich Bugaev was opened in the first hall of the museum in connection with the renaming of the institute, which owned the museum, from "Ulyanovsk Higher Civil Aviation School" to "Ulyanovsk Civil Aviation Institute".[9]
