This museum charts more than ten centuries of military history and developments in weaponry. Next to dozens of suits of armour and hundreds of uniforms of various origins, visitors will also see an impressive collection of aeroplanes and armoured vehicles. The exhibition, which occupies some 700m2, is dedicated to the Second World War and offers a unique vision of the recent past. Fine panoramic view over Brussels from the top of the Porte du Cinquantenaire.
