Royal Museum of Military History in Brussels
About
The Royal Museum of Military History occupies the left wing of the famous Triumphal Arch, which is located near the well-known Parc du Cinquantenaire. The museum has changed its location several times before settling here, and has gained immense popularity among tourists.
The Royal Museum is divided into numerous large halls, each dedicated to a specific theme. Its collection comprises 2,000 items, including a significant amount of weaponry, equipment, and even machinery.
