Being hosted inside the original building of 17th century arsenal make it a special place.

It's an interesting collection, inside fascinating place, located in a cute town.

Yes, you are right.

Up to a few years ago they had a tank too, a very good one. The only Pz 39 still running with an original gasoline engine:

There are no vehicles, and the artillery lacks space, since it must stay in the ground floor, other floors would not stand the weight.
