War Museum

Military history exhibit

A war museum is an institution dedicated to preserving and displaying artifacts, documents, and exhibits related to military conflicts.

These museums may focus on a particular war, a nation's military history, or broader themes of warfare and its consequences: The Imperial War Museum chronicles British involvement in conflicts since World War I.

Some emphasize weaponry and tactics; others center on human experiences and the costs of war.
