Aero serum museum

BACKGROUND

The world-unique facility in Säve consists of an underground rock room of 22,000 m2. The land area above ground is 70000m2.
The mountain hangar was completed in 1955 and is close to 30 m underground and was built at the then Göta Air Force Base (F9) now Säve Airport.
Since January 1, 2008, the Aeroseum has been part of the Swedish Military Historical Heritage (SMHA) network, which is classified under the Statens Försvarshistoriska Museer (SFHM).
The mountain complex with surrounding land areas is owned by Fastighetskontoret Gothenburg

Due to the Cold War and the threat of nuclear weapons, the new and significantly larger rock hangar was built deep below ground level. The picture with the J 29 Tunnan was taken in 1958, three years after the inauguration of “Nya Berget”.
