Lonely Planet review for National Military Museum

Only 10 minutes by foot from the train station, the interesting pinky-peach National Military Museum doubles nicely as a Romanian history museum, with its chronological rundown at how the country defended itself. Out front are heroic busts (including one of Vlad Ţepeş), while in the museum entrance note the 1988 communist mural that eerily celebrates the Palace of Parliament (a year before the revolution).

In the back is a superb hangar with Aurel Vlaicu's historic 1911 plane and cosmonaut uniforms. The army's backlash of the 1989 Revolution (unsurprisingly) gets little play.
