Darwin Military Museum, Military museum in East Point, Australia.

The Darwin Military Museum is a military museum in East Point, Darwin, Australia, displaying weapons, photographs, equipment, and documents from Australian conflicts. Two original gun turret structures remain on the grounds, preserved from a coastal defense installation built during the Second World War.

The museum opened in 1965 on a site directly connected to the Japanese air raids on Darwin during the Second World War. The gun turrets on the grounds date from that period and were part of the coastal defense set up at the time.

The Darwin Military Museum displays personal records and video testimonies from soldiers who served in different conflicts. Walking through the galleries, visitors encounter war as it was lived by ordinary people rather than through grand narratives.

The museum has ramps and accessible pathways, so most areas are easy to reach for visitors with mobility needs. Some exhibits are outdoors, so it is worth checking the weather before visiting, especially during the hot season.

The museum began in the 1960s when the Royal Australian Artillery Association fenced off the area around a 9.2-inch gun command post at East Point, bringing in two six-inch guns that were being vandalised on the foreshore. It was renamed the Darwin Military Museum in July 2009, having previously been the East Point Military Museum.
