Visit our museum:

NOTICE: Our museum location has been affected by sprinkler flooding at the Crowne Plaza AiRE Hotel – it is closed to the public until further notice so that we can assess the extent of damage and clean the exhibits and working spaces.

If you can contribute funds to help us with this task and offset lost store revenue, it would be greatly appreciated! Please click https://northwestairlineshistory.org/join-us/ for options.

When we do reopen, museum hours will typically run Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. For 2025, we will be closed on the Fourth of July, October 11 (our MSP Aviation Collectibles Show day), Thanksgiving Day, and over the Christmas-New Year period.

Building Interior Directions and Accessibility:

Please see our photo guide for navigating the Crowne Plaza AiRE Hotel to reach our museum, located on the third floor.

For patrons with mobility concerns, access to the elevators to reach the 3rd floor so as to avoid stairs is controlled by the hotel’s front desk for guests’ and residents’ security. Museum staff are not able to operate the elevators. The hotel’s front desk telephone is (952) 854-9000 if Crowne Plaza staff are not on hand to assist.
