The museum displays nine thousand military artifacts across twenty-two exhibition rooms, including historical weapons, uniforms, and campaign equipment from Ottoman times.
The museum originated in Saint Irene Church after 1453 and moved to its current location in Harbiye, the former Ottoman imperial military academy, in 1950.
