The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum displays more than 150 military vehicles and artillery pieces from various conflicts and nations in its exhibition halls. The collection ranges from armored vehicles to large-caliber weapons and documents military technology development across several decades.

The museum opened in September 2014 and focuses on equipment from World War I through the modern period. The collection tells the story of Australia's military involvement in global conflicts across roughly a century.

The museum honors the service of Indigenous Australian soldiers across different conflicts through its exhibitions. Visitors can discover their often-overlooked contributions to military history here.
