That's awesome. I thought it was a scale model at first glance!

I guess the unusual perspective contributed to that feeling.

I assume this last tank is in storage. We will wait for Stefan to confirm this.

There are info panels and a video documenting the road convoys send to Austria immediately after WW II end in Europe.
I especially like the Arsenalen, it's not just a bunch of cool and rare vehicles inside a building, the Museum make a good job at telling different and interesting stories associated with Sweden, its Army and the vehicles. They tell about volunteers to the Winter War in Finland, ONU missions and much more.
I believe "story telling" is important to attract attention from a wider public, after all such a Museum should not focus only on AFVs geeks like we are, since, like it or not, we are just a small minority.

#105: Re: Arsenalen Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:08 am ---- The PDF reports two fm/31 in Arsenalen. I wonder if this is really the case or we just have two pictures of the same vehicle?
There is only one on display at the moment and one picture was taken inside the old Museum.
I guess we have to wait for Stefan to answer this question.
