Weapon History Museum, Military museum in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.
The Weapon History Museum is a military museum in Zaporizhzhia housing over four thousand firearms and bladed weapons from different periods and cultures.

The museum opened in July 2004 and presents artifacts spanning from the Middle Paleolithic period to the second half of the twentieth century. Its collection documents how weapon development changed across multiple millennia in different parts of the world.
The collection reflects how different societies valued and crafted their weapons, offering insight into the technical skills and materials each civilization developed.
