Previously the 'Museu de Armas, Vehiculos, Motorizados e Aviones Antigos 'Eduardo Andrea Matarazzo'. The founder died in 2002 and the museum is currently run by the City of Bebedouro. Sadly, many of the exhibits, especially the larger aircraft on external display, some of which have significant historical significance to Brazilian aviation, have suffered from long term lack of funding to keep them in good order. Ex 44-29500, the B-25 has been at the museum since the late 1970s.
