Displaying an enormous collection of arms and
heavy artillery from the Middle Ages to the
present day, this museum is located just
across a narrow canal from
the Peter and Paul Fortress.
The museum is a great place to visit with
your kids, who will love the open-air
exhibition of artillery and missile
launchers in the museum's courtyard.
Inside the museum displays a rather old-fashioned
collection of military memorabilia, temporary
exhibitions, a nice little shop stocked with
models of weapons and miniature
soldiers and a cafe.
How to get there? Take the metro to Gorkovskaya
Station, turn right and walk through the
park towards the Peter and Paul Fortress.
When you reach the canal turn right and the
museum is just a little further
on your right-hand side.
