by bamf.bamrs
André Hiernaux is a Belgian living in Switzerland. During his visits to
the Museum, he take pictures of the aircraft or objects displayed. Back
home, he transform theses pictures in real pieces of art. We all know
the aircraft in the prestigious decor of the Aviation hall. Thanks to
André, for the first time, we can discover the aircraft out of their
environment. We are happy and proud, André permitted us to share his
works.
