Converted into a museum in 1996, the Aviation Technical Museum's first exhibits were aircraft which required maintenance and had been sent to Lugansk Aircraft Repair Plant [uk; ru]. However, due to lack of funding, these planes and helicopters remained there, and subsequently were simply written off as scrap metal. It was then that it was decided to preserve these aircraft and they were added to the museum.^[1]

On April 12, 2011, the museum opened an exhibition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the first crewed flight into space and the 90th anniversary of the birth of pilot-cosmonaut Georgy Berehovoy.^[2]
