Air Force Armament Museum, Military aviation museum at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, United States
The Air Force Armament Museum displays around 29 military aircraft and hundreds of armament items including bombs, missiles, and guns. The collection spans decades of weapons development used in air operations.
The museum opened in 1974 inside a converted chapel and moved to a new building outside the base's west gate in 1985. The move allowed for greater display space as the collection grew.
The African American Military Heritage Hall opened to honor contributions of Black service members to air operations. The space shows how these servicemembers shaped the Air Force.
The museum is free to visit and sits within the Eglin Air Force Base area near Valparaiso. Visitors should know that it is on an active military base, so security screening applies.
It is the only museum worldwide dedicated specifically to collecting and displaying Air Force armament and weapons systems. This focused collection makes it a rare place to learn about aviation weapons history.
