Museum of Armament, Military museum in Poznan Citadel Park, Poland
Description
The Museum of Armament is a military museum in Poznań Citadel Park that displays collections of tanks, aircraft, and artillery. Exhibitions are arranged both indoors and outdoors, showing a range of weapons and military equipment from different decades.
History
The building originates from Fort Winiary, which functioned as a munitions production facility during World War II. After the war, the site was repurposed to become a museum for military equipment and weaponry.
Culture
The name refers to the weapons and armor displayed throughout, with visitors walking through exhibits of uniforms and personal equipment from various periods. The collection shows how warfare evolved and what tools different eras relied upon.
Practical
The location inside the Citadel offers several paths to access both outdoor and indoor exhibitions, with the grounds being manageable to navigate. Sturdy shoes are recommended since some paths are unpaved and exhibits vary in height.

The collection includes a Soviet T-34 tank, a Katyusha rocket launcher, and a MiG-15 fighter jet displayed outdoors in their original condition. These machines come from an era when technology advanced rapidly and often appears surprisingly sturdy.
