The installation of expositions will begin in May, specialists have recreated the cockpit, the workplaces of the flight engineer and navigator, as well as part of the cabin - so that every visitor feels like a passenger of the world's first supersonic civil aircraft.

The museum will feature 11 thematic stands decorated in an aviation style, which will house eight original seats, tables and portholes from the business class fuselage. Video content stylized as newspapers of the era will be broadcast through the portholes.
