Musée de l'artillerie

The Artillery Museum showcases an extensive collection of cannons, ammunition, uniforms, and military equipment spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times.

The museum originated from a collection at Les Invalides in Paris during the 18th century before relocating to Draguignan in 1976 with the Artillery School.

The museum organizes annual temporary exhibitions and educational activities for schools, offering insights into military history and artillery technology development.

Located in the Bonaparte district, the museum provides guided tours and maintains regular opening hours except for an annual closure between December 20th and January 7th.

The museum features a memorial dedicated to fallen artillery soldiers and displays a remarkable 1739 classical cannon among its collection of military artifacts.
