What you need to know
The museum is housed in a three-story building that carefully preserves historical documents and evidence of military conflicts. The exhibition features rare photographs of the aftermath of napalm attacks, heavy weaponry, and military equipment samples.
The upper floors of the museum contain particularly emotional and graphic materials, so visitors should consider their psychological state when planning to explore these zones. The museum is equipped with everything necessary for comfort: elevators, air-conditioned rest areas, a courtyard cafe, and souvenir shops.
The museum is open daily without days off or holidays. The most comfortable time to visit with fewer crowds is from 07:30 to 09:00 or after 15:30.
