Dogs are not allowed in the museum, unfortunately.
Welcome to a world of guns and tanks. The exhibition features the development of weaponry from the oldest cannon found in Denmark and the ‘beautiful’ bronze cannons of Denmark’s absolute monarchy to the cannons used in the Battle of Dybbøl in 1864. You can see one of the Sherman tanks that arrived in Denmark after World War II, the Centurion tank of the Cold War and the Leopard tank used in the so-called ‘Operation Bøllebank’ in Bosnia in 1994. The vehicles have been maintained and are still fully operational. Every cannon, tank or truck in the hall has its own tale to tell – tales of technology, war and peace – and of the society of which we are all part.
