National Military Museum

The National Military Museum in Bucharest holds a collection of more than 1.3 million objects, including weapons, uniforms, flags, and military equipment from various periods. The items span different epochs and document military developments across time.

The museum was founded by King Ferdinand I in 1923 and moved to its present location in 1988, with the building completed in 1998. These relocations marked important phases in the institution's development as a national repository of military heritage.

The museum displays exhibits from various military branches including infantry, cavalry, and air force, reflecting how Romania's armed forces evolved over centuries. Visitors can see how different branches developed their own traditions and equipment.

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday and welcomes visitors of different age groups with varying admission rates. Entry is free for young children while adults, seniors, and students have specific ticket options.

The museum displays several historic tanks including a Renault FT, Renault R35, Panzer IV, and a TACAM R-2 tank destroyer. These vehicles give visitors direct insight into military technology from different eras.
