There are also several cultural events in the airport area, such as the Piešťany Aviation Festival flight days. The Piešťany Military History Museum (VHM) is located in the airport complex as part of the Military History Institute in Bratislava. VHM began to be built in 2002 in buildings after the abolished 32nd Air Base. Part of the former military airport with three halls was intended to build a permanent exhibition.
