Abstract: Complicated technical museum objects differs greatly from traditional museum objects. This article tests both the museological concepts of authenticity and originality and the concepts of conceptual, factual and actual identity with two aircraft in the collections of the Aviation Museum of Central Finland. The main issue is how these concepts may help to solve some problems of conservation, restoration and presentation. This article is an translated and slightly edited excerpt of the PhD thesis ”Tavallisesta kuriositeetiksi – Kahden Keski-Suomen Il- mailumuseon Messerschmitt Bf 109 – lentokoneen museoarvo (From Common- place to Curiosity – the Museum Value of two Messerschmitt Bf 109 Aircraft of the Aviation Museum of Central Finland”), examined in the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, on March 24, 2006.
