Lviv Arsenal Museum, Weaponry museum in Lviv, Ukraine.

The Lviv Arsenal occupies a rectangular two-story building with an octagonal tower, housing collections of historical weapons and military artifacts from multiple centuries.

Built between 1554 and 1556, the structure served as a city defense point, weapons storage, and production facility before Swedish forces damaged it during the Great Northern War.

The museum displays five thousand exhibits, including Arab swords, European weapons, military orders, and armor pieces that represent warfare traditions from thirty different countries.

Located at 5 Pidvalna Street, the museum opens from Thursday through Tuesday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 10 Ukrainian hryvnias.

The building contained torture chambers and functioned as a prison for Ukrainian Cossacks during the 18th-century liberation movement.
