Musée de l'Armée, Military museum in Les Invalides, Paris, France
The museum exhibits 500,000 artifacts, including weapons, armor, artillery, uniforms, and paintings across 12,000 square meters of exhibition space.
The facility emerged from the merger of the Musée d'Artillerie, founded in 1795 after the French Revolution, and the Musée Historique de l'Armée in 1905.
The permanent collections display French military evolution through different periods, from ancient armors to World War II equipment and technological developments.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00 during winter months and extends its hours until 18:00 from April through October.
The main courtyard presents over 60 classical bronze cannons and howitzers gathered since the French Revolution, forming an extensive artillery collection.
